Harmonization Workshop: Basic Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neuronal Plasticity and Learning
On June 26, 2025, a workshop focusing on the Basic Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neuronal Plasticity and Learning took place under the organization of Renato Frischknecht. The event began with a series of theoretical lectures that provided a solid foundation in the molecular and cellular processes involved in neuronal plasticity and learning.
Following the lectures, a live demonstration showcased the preparation and maintenance of primary neuronal cultures. Participants were given a guided tour of the laboratory facilities, which included an overview of the equipment and experimental setups used for cell culture and fluorescence imaging.
During the practical session, pre-stained neuronal cultures were observed under a fluorescence microscope. Key neuronal structures such as dendrites and axons were highlighted, offering a clear view of neuronal morphology and structure.
The workshop effectively combined theoretical knowledge with practical application, providing valuable insights into methods used to study neuronal plasticity at the cellular level.
