Program:
This meeting will focus on the discussion of new methods and findings that have emerged in the cell and molecular biology of Aplysia. We encourage reserchers working in complementary areas in a variety of other model invertebrate systems including crayfish, leech, squid, Drosophila, Manduca and C.elegans to present their work at this meeting. Seven oral presentation sessions and two poster sessions are planned. In addition to the invited speakers, the majority of speakers will be selected on the basis of the abstracts submitted. We particular encourage submission of abstracts by junior researchers in the field. Sessions are anticipated in the following areas:
• mechanisms of synaptic transmission
• ion channels and channel modulation
• peptides and small molecule transmitters
• cell imaging
• circadian rhythms
• neuronal circuitry and behavior
• learning and memory
