Dear Meeting Attendees,<br />

We would like to welcome you to <strong>the</strong> <strong>workshop</strong> on “Live<br />

Cell Imaging and Electrophysiology”, taking place in<br />

A<strong>the</strong>ns between <strong>the</strong> 1 st and 4 th <strong>of</strong> October 2013.<br />

The aim <strong>of</strong> this <strong>workshop</strong> is to provide post graduate and<br />

post doctoral scientists with a conceptual and practical<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> CNS live cell imaging in whole animal<br />

level, as well as electrophysiology.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> practicals, <strong>the</strong> participants will have <strong>the</strong><br />

chance to observe both live and video recorded<br />

experiments including surgical procedures for creating<br />

brain and spinal cord windows for intravital Multiphoton<br />

imaging and whole-cell and single-channel recordings,<br />

using <strong>the</strong> patch-clamp technique applied on mammalian<br />

cells.<br />

We would like to acknowledge <strong>the</strong> funding provided by<br />

<strong>the</strong> FP7 REGPOT 2010-1 EC Program “NeuroSign” that<br />

aims at <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> a Centre <strong>of</strong> Excellence for<br />

<strong>the</strong> study <strong>of</strong> Neurosignalling during nervous system<br />

function and dysfunction at <strong>the</strong> Hellenic Pasteur Institute.<br />

We are looking forward to seeing you and interacting<br />

with you in this <strong>workshop</strong> and we hope that it will be an<br />

educational and enjoyable experience for everyone<br />

involved.<br />
