Insect Behavior: Small Brains, Big Functions
March 13 - 15, 2007
This meeting focuses on central brain and ventral ganglion functions of insects in bringing about adaptive behavior. It will include methods and tools needed from neurogenetics to the simulation of circuits to assess behavior quantitatively and to unravel the underlying neuronal circuits. To keep the meeting small we will omit many aspects of peripheral visual and olfactory processing, countless important molecules, and olfactory learning and memory—all topics that can fill specialized meetings by themselves.
