Leica Microsystems and Science / AAAS have organized a free web-seminar
in August that may be of interest to you:

Advances in Neurotechniques: Methods that Reveal the Structure and
Function of the Brain

Date:  13th August 2014
Time:  12:00pm U.S. Eastern Time
Duration:  60 minutes
http://tinyurl.com/neurotechniques

Featured Speakers:

Karl Deisseroth, M.D., Ph.D.
Stanford University

Vivianna Gradinaru, Ph.D.
Caltech

Elucidating the mind’s inner workings is one of the remaining challenges
facing scientists today. Since Ramón y Cajal’s first illustrations of neuronal
structures, neuroscientists have benefited from new ways to visualize the
microscopic components within the brain. The development of new,
advanced imaging techniques holds the promise for elucidating a better
understanding of the how the brain works. Already, cutting-edge tools such
as optogenetics and CLARITY offer researchers novel methods for peering
into the structure and function of the brain. This webinar will explore the
most recent neurotechniques and how these are being used to advance our
knowledge of the brain. During this webinar, the speakers will:

- Provide an overview of new neurotechniques
- Shed light on how to use the new technologies to advance research
- Present their research using optogenetics and CLARITY
- Answer your questions live during the webinar!
