Past Conferences

Spring 2007 Conferences

• Neuron Identities
  MARCH 4 - 7, 2007
  The focus of this small meeting is to discuss the intrinsic and extrinsic factors and influences which determine the specific identities of neural cells.
• Neuroanatomy and Stereotypy of the Adult Drosophila Nervous System
  MARCH 11 - 13, 2007
  This meeting will focus on standardizing the nomenclature and the basis for defining the borders of brain regions, their subdivisions as computational entities, the definition of tracts and other pathways in the adult Drosophila brain and thoracic ganglia, drawing on a wide range of anatomical imaging techniques, functional approaches, and developmental studies.
• 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.
• Expanding the Genetic Tool-kit in Mouse
  MARCH 18 - 21, 2007
  Topics for this meeting include new and emerging genetic techniques and approaches for studying the nervous system in the mouse.
• Neural Circuits and Behavior in C. elegans
  MARCH 25 - 28, 2007
  The main foci for this conference are the anatomical and functional components that form the neural circuits connecting sensory input with behavioral output in the worm.
• Visual Processing in Insects: From Anatomy to Behavior
  APRIL 29 - MAY 2, 2007
  There is a wealth of information on the functional anatomy of insect visual systems which can provide deep insights into visual behavior.

Fall 2007 Conferences

• Neural Circuit Reconstruction
  SEPTEMBER 23 - 26, 2007
  The goal of this meeting is to discuss the challenges facing the reconstruction of complete circuit diagrams of neuronal processing units.
• Expanding the Genetic Toolkit for Drosophila
  OCTOBER 7 - 10, 2007
  The focus will be on new genetic methods that are needed to facilitate modern fly research and how these methods might be developed.
• Translation at the Synapse
  OCTOBER 21 - 24, 2007
  The meeting will focus on recent advances in our understanding of the regulation of protein synthesis at the neuronal synapse.
• Fluorescent Proteins and Biological Sensors
  OCTOBER 28 - 31, 2007
  This meeting will showcase the development of cutting-edge tools and technology for in vivo imaging.
• Inositide Signaling Symposium
  NOVEMBER 4 - 7, 2007
  The focus will be on recent advances in phosphoinositide and inositol phosphate signaling networks.
