Constructing Neural Circuits
April 29-May 2, 2012

This meeting will focus on various aspects of circuit assembly including axon guidance, lamina targeting specificity, synapse formation, dendritogenesis, reaction to injury and signaling (including RNA and cytoskeletal regulation in neurites) and activity-dependent processes. This will be a small meeting with some additional speakers and about an equal number of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We anticipate that the small size and high quality will encourage discussion. We hope you will be able to accept this invitation and look forward to a stimulating and exciting meeting.
