[Catalin Rusu]

Dear colleagues,

Please find below an announcement about the first edition of the
Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School (TENSS). We would be
very grateful if you could forward this announcement to potentially
interested people.

Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School (TENSS)
June 1-15, 2012. The Pike Lake, Transylvania, Romania
www.tenss.ro

TENSS will concentrate top-level international expertise to teach a dozen
students techniques and concepts in experimental systems neuroscience. We
will focus on modern optical and electrophysiological methods to study the
connectivity and function of neuronal circuits. The course is designed to
be intensive and highly interactive, including both lab sessions and
theoretical lectures. Coursework will take place in a land of myth and
legend, beyond large forests (Transylvania), on the shores of a picturesque
natural reserve called Pike Lake. Applications are welcome from interested
(and interesting) graduate students and postdocs.

Applications open – 15th January 2012
