The 48th Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan

Organizer: Shingo Koinuma (Tokyo University of Science), Hitoshi Murata (Okayama University)

The elucidation of neural network formation during development is a monumental biology work in the last 20 years of the 20th century. The current challenge appears to be whether we can speak of the nervous system from beginning to end as a “single logic" with diverse facets. This logic is expected to become the guiding principle for restoring and protecting the adult human nervous system. This symposium aims to bring together knowledge from diverse fields such as metabolism, glia and neurons, cytoskeletal and membrane regulation, and epigenetics to discuss this logic.
