Conference on Origin and Regulation of Bursting Activity in Neurons

Date: April 7-8, 2006
Location: Georgia State University
Organizers: R. Calabrese (Emory) , G.Cymbalyuk and A. Shilnikov (GSU)
Scientific Committee: I.Belykh, D.Edwards, P.Katz (GSU)
Supported by: GSU Brains and Behavior Program , Center for Neural Communication and Computation , Department of Physics and Astronomy , and Department of Mathematics and Statistics at GSU

Registration fee: $130 for faculty and $50 for Postdoc, The fee is waived for students (will include breakfast and lunch)
For more information email:G Cymbalyuk or visit http://www.mathstat.gsu.edu/%7Emeetings

The meeting is intended to discuss bifurcation routes to bursting activity, mechanisms of its regulation and synchronization. We would like to gather researchers from various fields of neuroscience, mathematics and physics interested in the origin of bursting patterns and the control of their characteristics.
