第９回 光操作研究会＠東北大学 2017
9th Optogenetics Research Society Japan
International Symposium@ Tohoku University: Oct 21 (Sat) – 22 (Sun), 2017
This symposium is aimed at introducing the cutting edge technology used in current brain science.
Our central theme would be optogenetics and optical imaging techniques, as these techniques haveundoubtedly revolutionized modern brain science. However, these approaches realize its true value
only through combination with other existing and newly emerging approaches including
electrophysiology, connectomics, two-photon microscopy, superresolution microscopy, genetics inmodel systems, numerical simulations, and neuroinformatics. Equipped with both manipulation andmeasurements techniques, we may finally be able to understand how our mind emerges from matter.
Here, we gathered scientists with diverse expertise to discuss this concept at our 9th Optogenetics
Research Society Japan – International Symposium – at Tohoku University 2017.

Symposium Onsite Registration
Sat. Oct 21 12:00 - 13:30* Please pre-registration using the form on our website prior to the meeting.

Banquet will be held at 1F entrance hall of the Seiryo Hall from 17:30 – 20:00 on Oct 21.

Corporate Seminar
Corporate seminar will be given by the selected corporate groups. They will be introducing latest
products and technologies used in optogenetics studies. Due to lack of presentation time, this oralpresentation will be made over lunch time.
Lunch will be provided to the registered attendees, free of charge.
The corporate seminar will be held from 11:20 – 12:30 on Oct 22.
