Daniel Choquet (Bordeaux, France), Plenary Lecturer at FENS Forum 2012 | Synapse function and organization at the nanoscale 

Neurotransmitter receptors are concentrated in specialized membrane domains, the synapses. The number and organization of receptors at synapses determines the effectiveness of synaptic transmission. Recent developments in super resolution imaging now allow unraveling receptor nanoscale organization and traffic into and out synapses. Understanding these processes down to the molecular scale will help understand key features of synaptic function involved in the processes of memory and learning in normal and pathological states.
