Lecture Time Speaker Lecture subject
14:30-15:00 (invited) David Sprinzak [1] Know Thy Neighbor: The role of contact area geometry on cell-cell signaling
During development, cells undergo dramatic changes in their morphology.
15:00-15:15 Alon Oyler-Yaniv [1,2] Cytokine consumption controls the extent of cell-to-cell signaling and dynamically generates cellular microdomains.
We quantify how the concentration of cytokine receptors in tissue affects the extent of cell-to-cell communication.
15:15-15:30 David Golomb Is cortical information processing described by the balanced-state model?
Processing of external stimuli by cortical network has been described using the "balanced state" idea, stating that the...
15:30-15:45 Amir Goldental [1] A computational paradigm for dynamic logic gates in neuronal activity
In 1943 McCulloch and Pitts suggested that the brain is composed of reliable logic-gates similar to the logic at the cor...
15:45-16:00 Avraham Be'er [1] Antibiotic-induced anomalous statistics of collective bacterial swarming
Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which dense populations of self-propelled bacteria migrate on surfa...
