Prof Michal Schwartz
Principal investigator, Department of Neurobiology
Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
Professor Schwartz’s research is focused on the role of innate and adaptive immunity in central nervous system (CNS) plasticity in health and disease, and on developing methodologies to manipulate the immune system to benefit the CNS under acute injuries, chronic neurodegenerative conditions, mental dysfunction, and brain aging.

Team Leader, Synaptic Plasticity and Connectivity
RIKEN
Synapses are the nodes of information transmission in the brain. The dynamic changes in the efficacy of synaptic transmission or synaptic strength, play crucial roles in a variety of cognitive functions from perception, emotion, computation, to learning and memory. Our research seeks to understand how synapses acquire a particular strength and how the strength of individual synapses is dynamically modified in relationship to other synapses of the neural network. We study how these mechanisms of synaptic strength regulation control neural circuit properties underlying particular types of behavior.
