We are inviting advanced PhD students and post docs to apply for the 
Hertie Winter School 
"Thalamus and Thalamo-cortical Interactions: Cells, Networks, Dynamics and Disease"

to be held December 8-15, 2013 in Obergurgl, Austria.
The thalamus transmits information from the environment and internal processes to the cortex, while the cortex sends the output from its multiple processing stages to the thalamus. Recent findings on the cellular anatomy, membrane dynamics and synaptic organization of thalamic circuits have led to an increasing appreciation of their pivotal position within the complex neural networks that give rise to perception, cognition, voluntary motion, emotion, and consciousness. Moreover, high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging is beginning to allow the study of the human thalamus, while thalamus stimulation is already used to treat some neurological conditions. The School will introduce students to...read more.

The deadline for applications is August 26, 2013, 24:00 CET
