Computations in Neocortical Circuits: What Does the Cortex Do?
March 29 - April 1, 2009

This meeting will focus on current advances in our understanding of cortical circuitry through presentations from leading labs and open forum discussions. In addition, speakers will be asked to address larger questions such as: Is there a generic cortical circuit? If so, what does this circuit do and how does it do it?
