A gathering of neuronal cytoskeletal scientists in South America

Abstract

This essay attempts to capture the spirit of our recent meeting in Chile entitled "Emerging Concepts in Neuronal Cytoskeleton." The purpose of the meeting was to bring together scientists from South American countries with colleagues from the USA and the global community, to inspire and motivate the next generation of scientists from South America who share a fascination of the internal architecture of the neuron. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
