Introduction to Symposium on Science Management at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience 2019 Meeting.

The landscape of scientific research is changing. Today’s researchers need to participate in large-scale collaborations, obtain and manage funding, share data, publish, and undertake knowledge translation activities in order to be successful. As per these increasing demands, Science Management is now a vital piece of the environment.

This panel discussion of area experts whom have extensive experience with management in a science setting. 

This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.

Ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane.

Action potentials, and biophysics of voltage-gated ion channels.

Voltage-gating kinetics of sodium and potassium channels.

The ionic basis of the action potential, including the Hodgkin Huxley model.

Action potential initiation and propagation.

Long-range inhibitory connections in the brain, with examples from three different systems.

2nd part of the lecture. Introduction to cell receptors and signalling cascades

GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.

Introduction to the types of glial cells, homeostasis (influence of cerebral blood flow and influence on neurons), insulation and protection of axons (myelin sheath; nodes of Ranvier), microglia and reactions of the CNS to injury.

This lecture covers an Introduction to neuron anatomy and signaling, and different types of models, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
