IBRO-APRC School on Neural plasticity in health and disease

The aim of the school is to introduce to the young investigators the fundamental concepts of neural plasticity and its underlying mechanisms, the role of environmental enrichment or deficit in modulating the plasticity of brain and also make them aware that impaired neuroplasticity is the basis of many neurological and developmental disorders.

The school will provide a holistic view on the electrophysiological, morphological, behavioral and imaging techniques that can be used to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neural plasticity in normal and injured brain. Problem-based learning approach will be used to invoke excitement and encouragement among the youngsters and provoke them to ask appropriate questions and suggest solutions.
