A Gene-switch for memories: neuroplastin ablation causes retrograde amnesia and cognitive deterioration
Neuron-type-specific neuroplastin ablation empowers the investigation of circuit-coded learning and memory and its relation to cognitive deterioration. The inducible neuroplastin-deficient mouse model, achieving experimental induction of retrograde amnesia genetically, provides new means to analyze the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying retrograde amnesia and memory.

Past, Present and Future of the Cell adhesion Molecule Neuroplastin
Thirty years ago, the two main isoforms of the cell adhesion molecule neuroplastin were characterized as abundant glycoproteins in synaptic membrane fractions derived from rodent brains. Since then, studies in our laboratories in Magdeburg have revealed that neuroplastins are of great importance for architecture and function of the brain as they are crucially involved in neuronal plasticity, balance of excitatory/inhibitory synapse ratio, GABAergic transmission, and circuit activity commanding particular behaviors. Further, the finding of a number of binding partners of neuroplastin including subunits of the GABAA receptor, Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase, and the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 has opened the exploration of molecular mechanisms involved in formation and stabilization of synapses, synaptic transmission and plasticity as well as calcium homeostasis all of them fundamental for the physiology of different neuron types. We propose that alteration of neuroplastin-partners function could underlie severe neurological and neurodegenerative conditions.

1st Neuro-MIG Training Course
GENOMICS AND IMAGING OF MALFORMATIONS OF BRAIN DEVELOPMENT
Organized by the COST Action CA 16118 and CIBR, The 1st Neuro-MIG Training Course will be held at the Croatian Institute for Brain Research, School of Medicine, University of Zagreb on April 9-11, 2018.
The aim of the 1st Neuro-MIG Training Course is to convey clinical trends, expertise and knowledge on the care, diagnosis, follow-up, possible treatment options of patients with the MCD and current clinical and basic research on neuronal migration disorders.
The course is targeted to clinical geneticists, paediatric neurologists, radiologists, laboratory specialists, pathologists, cell biologists and other specialists in the field are welcome. PhD students, postdocs and early career investigators (ECI) with research initiative on neuronal migration disorders and other malformations of cortical development are most welcome.
The capacity of the venue is maximum 30 students.
Sixteen student scholarships (up to a maximum of 500 EUR) are solicited from Neuro-MIG COST Training Course budget.
Call for students applications is open by February 28th 2018.
