Molecular & Cellular Neurobiology

 

 

Application Deadline
Applications for this meeting must be submitted by May 16, 2010. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Applications will still be accepted for oversubscribed meetings. However, they will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.

The Gordon Conference on Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology is a broad conference designed to promote interactions between neuroscientists from all over the world. The conference will feature diverse areas of modern neuroscience from molecules and cells to circuits, behavior, neurodegeneration and regeneration after injury. Speakers at the conference will describe recent progress in studies important for understanding afflictions that include autism, mental retardation, addiction, mental illness, and neurodegenerative diseases. The topics of the upcoming conference focus on recent progress in molecular, cellular and developmental neurobiology. A total of 9 themes have been selected for the formal conference sessions: Synaptic transmission, Molecular and Cellular Basis of Behavior, Cellular Plasticity mechanisms, Neural circuit assembly and function, Neuronal Polarity, Synapse development, Axon and dendrite development, Molecular Basis of Neurological Diseases, and Circuit Plasticity Mechanisms. In addition, two keynote lectures have been planned. Dr. Joshua Sanes will speak on “Formation and function of retinal circuitry” and Dr. Cori Bargmann will deliver her lecture entitled “Genes, behavior, and the Sense of smell: using a fixed circuit to generate flexible behaviors”. The conference venue will provide an opportunity for interactions between scientists of many nationalities at early stages of their careers who otherwise have few opportunities for exchange of ideas and establishment of collaborations. Several short talks selected based upon abstract submissions will provide speaking opportunities for young scientists.

Preliminary Program
A list of preliminary session topics and speakers is currently being developed by the Conference Chair and will be available by December 1, 2009. Please check back for updates.
