Synapses:
From Molecules to Circuits & Behavior
|
We
are pleased to announce a fourth meeting on Synapses:
From Molecules to Circuits & Behavior, which will
be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. The meeting
will begin at 7:30pm on Tuesday, April 14, and will conclude with
lunch on Saturday, April 18, 2009. The proposed meeting will assemble
the leaders in the field, together with junior faculty, postdoctoral
fellows and graduate students, to discuss new, cutting-edge developments
in the molecular control of neuronal excitability and synapse
function.
Keynote Speakers:
Cori Bargmann, The
Rockefeller University
Clay
Reid, Harvard Medical School

The format of the meeting will include eight oral sessions and
two poster sessions. Each oral session will include invited speakers
and speakers selected from submitted abstracts. For this reason,
abstracts from accomplished junior and senior investigators are
warmly invited. As usual at Cold Spring Harbor meetings, abstracts
of both poster and platform sessions will be published in an abstract
book. The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data.
The organizers will select abstracts for oral or poster presentations.
The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web
site (below) as soon as decisions have been made.
We hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in April.
