title: Molecules of the mind: integrating synaptic biochemistry to understand brain function.
abstract: The focused meeting entitled 'Molecular Determinants of Synaptic Function: Molecules and Models' brought together several molecules and experimental models that are furthering our understanding of the biochemical basis of integrative brain function. Invited speakers and short communications from more junior scientists highlighted how individual molecules or protein networks underlie defined subcellular functions (e.g. transmitter release, receptor activation and transmitter uptake) can be used to unravel integrative function at cellular, systems and behavioural levels.
