Neuronal Circuits

We are pleased to announce the third Cold Spring Harbor winter conference on Neuronal Circuits, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, March 10 and run through lunch on Saturday, March 13, 2010.

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 covered by the meeting include but are not limited to:
· Chemical senses
· Visual system
· Circuits underlying cortical function
· Motor control
· New methods for investigating structure & function of circuits.
