Tobias Moser: “Mechanisms of sound intensity encoding: what heterogeneous afferent synapses and neurons are good for”
Katja Bleckmann: “Behavioral, physiological, and anatomical assessment of the hearing performance in Bl/6.CAST mice missing the glutathione peroxidase 1”
Ruth Anne Eatock: “Seeking balance: Quantal and non-quantal transmission from vestibular hair cells to afferents”
Hosted jointly by Washington University School of Medicine and the Collaborative Research Center of the University Medical Center Goettingen.
2021 Ribbon Synapses Seminar Series
Join us for a unique seminar series to learn more about the specialized sensory synapses that afford unique signal processing abilities to the auditory and visual systems.
The Ribbon Synapses Seminar Series is being held virtually for the first time this year, in lieu of the biannual in-person Ribbon Synapses Symposium held in Goettingen, Germany since 2003.
Session #1
10am: Tobias Moser, University Medical Center Goettingen, Germany: “Mechanisms of sound intensity encoding: what heterogeneous afferent synapses and neurons are good for”
11am: Katja Bleckmann, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands: “Behavioral, physiological, and anatomical assessment of the hearing performance in Bl/6.CAST mice missing the glutathione peroxidase 1”
11:30am: Ruth Anne Eatock, University of Chicago: “Seeking balance: Quantal and non-quantal transmission from vestibular hair cells to afferents”
Registration is free – you will receive a username and password to access the zoom links on the RSSS website, and to stream recordings of previous sessions.
