Neuronal Circuits
April 6 - 9, 2016
Abstract Deadline: January 22, 2016
Organizers:

Call for Nominations: Larry Katz Memorial Lecture
We are pleased to announce the sixth Cold Spring Harbor conference on Neuronal Circuits, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, April 6 and run through lunch on Saturday, April 9, 2016.
A comprehensive description of neuronal circuitry, an old dream of neuroscientists, is about to become a reality with recent technological advances. As these advances have been made in different model organisms and systems, there is a need for a forum where neuroscientists studying various neuronal circuits could exchange ideas. This CSHL meeting will allow for neuroscientists working on neuronal circuits in a wide range of model organisms, from invertebrates to mammals, to come together and discuss their research. Contributions from research, centered on neuronal circuits involving anatomical, physiological, theoretical and behavioral approaches will be encouraged.
Topics, Session Chairs and Speakers:
Sensory Processing (Chair: Florian Engert, Harvard University)

Abstracts are welcomed on all scientific topics related to the structure or function of neuronal circuits. They should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible to attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs. Apply in writing to stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts. Send requests to Val Pakaluk
All questions pertaining to registration, fees, housing, meals, transportation, visas, abstract submission or any other matters may be directed to Val Pakaluk
We hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in April.
