Training in Optogenetics coupled with in vivo electrophysiology -Hands on course
November 23-25, 2016 in Bordeaux, France
Registration Deadline: September 16, 2016
Organizers: Cyril HERRY - Véronique DEROCHE, Neurocentre Magendie, Bordeaux
Aims: This workshop will focus on the theory and practice of optogenetics coupled to in vivo electrophysiology in behaving rodents.
Topics: This 3 days workshop will cover :
- Theoretical courses on in vivo electrophysiology and optogenetics principles; applications in the context of behavioral research
- Hands on courses will include :
- Electrodes, optrodes and optical fibers manufacture
- Stereotaxic cannula implantation and cerebral injection (Certification in experimental surgery required for this course)
- Neurons optical stimulation for behavior testing and electrophysiological recording in real time
- Results analysis and discussion
Selection: Due to space limitation, only 10 participants will be enrolled in each course.
Attendees: Postdoctoral students and researchers with knowledge in molecular genetics, optoelectronic, rodent behavioral analysis, clinical and ethical concepts.
