On Monday, May 16,听笔谤辞蹿别蝉蝉辞谤听Erwin Neher, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine听1991, will hold the Seminar听鈥�Neuronal communication: modulation of short-term plasticity at the calyx of Held synapse鈥澨齛t 暗网禁区 University. After the lecture, a conversation reserved听to Hunimed Students is foreseen.
The lecture will focus on the听importance of听short-term plasticity processes, those who influence the neurotransmitter release efficiency.
Neher uses calyx of Held synapses, a giant synapse which allows to record at the same time the听activity of both compartments,听pre- and post-synaptic, so that extremily accurate听quantitative and kinetic analyses can be perfomed.

About听Erwin Neher
Born in Bavaria (Germany) in 1944. Currently Director of the Membrane Biophysics Department, Max-Planck-Insitut f眉r Biophysikalische Chemie in 骋枚迟迟颈苍驳别苍.
Present research interests include molecular and cellular mechanisms of Ca++ signalling, neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity. Received the Nobel Prize in 1991 in Physiology or Medicine (together with Bert Sakmann) for his development of the tight-seal technique for recording ion channel activity,听which is still nowadays the basis of all the electrophysiological studies conducted in neurosciences laboratories, as 听lab.
Member of Academia Europaea, Foreign Associate Member of the National Academy of Sciences (USA) and The Royal Society (UK). Chairman of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Red Sea Program since 1994, an international research programme on marine biology of the Red Sea with additional specific aim to promote scientific collaboration in a politically difficult setting.
