Fred Kavli Distinguished International Scientist LectureUnderstanding Sound Processing in the Auditory System: Advances Rooted in the Genetic Approach CMEChristine Petit, MD, PhD — College de France & Pasteur Institute Support contributed by: The Kavli Foundation Sunday, Nov. 14, 10 – 11:10 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Gain an understanding of the principles of acoustic signal processing underlying auditory scene analysis as well as perception of music and spoken language with emphasis on how the cochlea and auditory neurons operate. Advances in deciphering molecular mechanisms of sound processing will be illustrated for the mechano-electrical transduction. In addition,

hear about the physiological properties of the auditory organ revealed by the study of mouse models lacking specific cochlear structures.

Peter and Patricia Gruber LectureBrain Circuits for Active VisionRobert H. Wurtz, PhD — National Eye Institute/National Institutes of Health Support contributed by: Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation Sunday, Nov. 14, 2:30 – 3:40 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Our stunning visual perception results from cou-pling a high resolution fovea with eye movements that direct it toward threats and treats. These movements, however, require brain mechanisms for shifting attention to the next foveal target and compensating for the movement produced visual disruptions. This lecture considers the inte-

grated system in the primate brain that both moves the eyes and contributes to the attentional shifts and visual compensations. A major segment of this system acts via ascending thalamic pathways and provides insight into cortical modulation by the thalamus.

Presidential Special LectureMotivational Neuronal Circuits for Value, Salience, and Information CME

Okihide Hikosaka, MD, PhD — National Eye Institute/National Institutes of Health Support contributed by: Johnson & Johnson Sunday, Nov. 14, 5:15 – 6:25 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Recently, we found that the inhibitory connec-tion from the lateral habenula (LHb) to midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons plays an important role in behavioral choice based on motivational value. Another group of DA neurons were less influenced by the LHb and instead encoded motivational salience. DA neurons also encoded preference for information

about future rewards. This lecture addresses how these neuronal signals help animals to construct a road map to optimal behavioral choice.

Presidential Special LectureAdventures in Nontranslational Research: Neuronal Differentiation and Mechanosensory Transduction in C. elegans CME

Martin Chalfie, PhD — Columbia University Saturday, Nov. 13, 5:15 – 6:25 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Although the molecular mechanisms that allow us to sense light or chemicals are known, the trans-duction molecules for our mechanical senses are not. Using traditional and molecular genetics, we have identified genes needed for the devel-opment and function of touch-sensing cells in Caenorhabditis elegans. Electrophysiological

studies demonstrate that several genes encode proteins that form a channel complex that transduces touch. The interac-tion of this complex with lipid is critical for its function.

Featured Lectures

Dialogues Between Neuroscience and SocietyBringing Change to Mind on Mental IllnessGlenn Close — www.bringchange2mind.org Support contributed by: Elsevier Saturday, Nov. 13, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Join award-winning actress and advocate Glenn Close for a discussion of how science and society can work together to change minds on mental illness. BringChange2Mind.org, which Close founded, aims to combat the stigma associated with mental illness.While the next decade will bring sustained progress in uncovering the biological bases of mental illness,

much work must be done to help the American public understand that mental illness is brain disease. How do we reduce misconceptions, stigma, and bias that confront those with conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD? With mental illness increasingly recog-nized as a global health challenge and science poised for continued discovery, how can we help the public discern fact from fiction to bring positive change for families struggling with mental illness?

David Kopf Lecture on NeuroethicsThe Neuroscience Revolution and SocietyHenry T. Greely, JD — Stanford University Support contributed by: David Kopf Instruments Monday, Nov. 15, 10 – 11:10 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

The onrushing revolution in neuroscience will change not just science and medicine, but all aspects of human society. This lecture outlines six different ways neuroscience will affect society, through findings that concern prediction, mindreading, responsibility, consciousness, treatment for disfavored behaviors, and cognitive enhancement. The lecture will end

by suggesting ways in which neuroscience might more deeply affect our understandings of our fellow humans — and of ourselves.

Special PresentationA Neuroscience “Moonshot”: Rallying a New Global Race for Brain ResearchRep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-RI) — U.S. House of Representatives Monday, Nov. 15, 1 – 2 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Rep. Kennedy is a tireless advocate for biomedical research and for people who struggle with brain-based illnesses. Recipient of SfN’s 2002 Public Service Award, Kennedy will highlight his vision for a new campaign for brain research; the urgency of help-ing a generation of veterans affected by PTSD and TBI; and why the broad brain community must

join forces to advance national and global research agendas. He will discuss how compelling public advocacy — combined with grow-ing science funding — can help realize major advances in basic research and translational application for all brain-based conditions.

Albert and Ellen Grass LectureDendrites, From Form to Function CMEYuh Nung Jan, PhD and Lily Jan, PhD — University of California, San Francisco Support contributed by: The Grass Foundation Monday, Nov. 15, 3:15 – 4:25 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Different types of neurons display dendrites with distinct branch-ing patterns — a hallmark feature that enables neurons to receive and process information properly. This lecture summarizes what we have learned as to how dendrites

form and organize among themselves and how dendritic ion chan-nels are regulated by synaptic activities and in turn modulate neu-ronal activity and synaptic plasticity. Presenters will discuss implica-tions to the etiology of neurological diseases and mental disorders.

Presidential Special LectureLearning to See Late in Life CME

Pawan Sinha, PhD — Massachusetts Institute of Technology Support contributed by: Pfizer, Inc. Monday, Nov. 15, 5:15 – 6:25 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

We open our eyes and see a world that makes sense, easily parsing the visual array into meaningful objects. To study this process, we have recently launched Project Prakash — a synergistic humanitarian and scientific initiative that helps provide sight to con-genitally blind children, and characterizes their sub-sequent visual development. The effort has provided

insights into the early stages of learning to see, while improving the lives of children who were otherwise doomed to a life of blindness.

History of Neuroscience LectureCell and Molecular Neurobiology: Antecedents and AchievementsVictor P. Whittaker, PhD — Max Planck Institute Support contributed by: AstraZeneca Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2:30 – 3:40 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

In this session we will review the emergence of cell biology and its successful application to the nervous system. Author, George Gray, isolated a transmitter-rich particulate fraction that was identified as consist-ing of detached, sealed presynaptic nerve terminals, which retain most of the functions of the intact nerve terminal. These were named synaptosomes. Later

work enabled Gray to isolate synaptic vesicles and to show the func-tional and metabolic heterogeneity of the synaptic vesicle population.

Presidential Special LectureTuning Depression Circuits Using Deep Brain Stimulation CME

Helen S. Mayberg, MD — Emory University Support contributed by: Lundbeck Research USA Tuesday, Nov. 16, 5:15 – 6:25 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Advances in neuroimaging have shifted the focus from psychological and neurochemical theories of depres-sion to more anatomically-based, systems-level models. The impact of this shift is demonstrated by the recent testing of a novel intervention for intractable depres-sion based on one such “network” model: deep brain stimulation of the subcallosal cingulate white matter.

Dr. Mayberg will discuss the theoretical and data-driven foundation for this new procedure as well as clinical results from ongoing studies.



Joining the Dots: Epigenetics, Plasticity, and the Circadian Clock CMEPaolo Sassone-Corsi, PhD — University of California, Irvine Sunday, Nov. 14, 11:30 a.m. – 12:40 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Neuronal plasticity is intimately associated with genomic control. Yet, there is much more to the genome than DNA sequence, permitting variability beyond the double helix. Plasticity may be obtained through epigenetic mechanisms, based on a variety of DNA and chromatin remodeling processes. Complex programs of gene expression characterize most neu-

ronal functions, among which circadian cycles represent a paradigm for dynamic chromatin transitions. In this lecture, Dr. Sassone-Corsi discusses recent advances that reveal unexpected links between cir-cadian regulators, chromatin remodeling, and cellular metabolism.

Theme C: Disorders of the Nervous SystemToward Understanding Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder CMEPamela Sklar, MD, PhD — Massachusetts General Hospital, Broad Institute Tuesday, Nov. 16, 1 – 2:10 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Understanding the causes of schizophrenia and bipo-lar disorder poses a series of special challenges. Over the last few years, application of modern genomics technologies to large clinical samples has led to a series of key findings. Soon, data from large whole genome and exome sequencing will provide valuable informa-tion about rarer variation. The presenter discusses

how these findings together will be the building blocks for under-standing the overall genetic architecture — the number, frequency, effect size, and interaction — of the risk alleles for these disorders.

Amyloid Imaging: Impact on the Study of Alzheimer’s Disease CMEWilliam E. Klunk, MD, PhD — Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic Wednesday, Nov. 17, 10 – 11:10 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

The first convincing images of in vivo amyloid imag-ing were presented at ICAD-2002 in Stockholm. In the eight years that have passed, great progress and expansion of amyloid imaging studies have occurred. Imaging with the amyloid tracer, Pittsburgh Compound-B (PiB) has been included in ADNI. More than 50 centers worldwide are performing in

vivo amyloid imaging studies with PiB, or newer, usually F-18-labeled tracers. This talk will review the development of this new field.

Theme D: Sensory and Motor SystemsModern Genetic and Viral Tools for the Dissection of Neural Circuits CME Edward M. Callaway, PhD — The Salk Institute for Biological Studies Monday, Nov. 15, 8:30 – 9:40 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

To understand how neural circuits function, it is necessary to resolve connectivity with high resolution, correlate connectivity with func-tion, and manipulate activity of defined circuit components. Advances in genetic and viral tools make this possible at the resolution of specific cell types and even single neurons. A discussion

Theme A: DevelopmentConnecting Motor Circuits CMESilvia Arber, PhD — Biozentrum, University of Basel Sunday, Nov. 14, 1 – 2:10 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Motor behavior represents the ultimate output of most nervous system activity and is mediated by precisely connected neuronal circuits. This lecture covers recent progress in understanding the molecu-lar mechanisms involved in specification and con-nectivity of motor circuits in the spinal cord. A hierarchy of sophisticated molecular programs is at

the core of controlling diversification of neuronal subpopulations and precision of neuronal connectivity to generate functional circuits.

Rewiring the Brain: Activity-Dependent Neurotransmitter Specification CMENicholas C. Spitzer, PhD — University of California, San Diego Wednesday, Nov. 17, 11:30 a.m. – 12:40 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Neuronal circuits signal largely through the release of neurotransmitters and activation of their recep-tors. Ever since Loewi’s and Dale’s discovery of the chemical synapse, it has been believed that transmit-ters are fixed characteristics of neuronal identity. This lecture summarizes recent studies demonstrating that electrical activity and calcium signaling can change

the transmitters neurons use, with corresponding changes in trans-mitter receptors on postsynaptic cells. Physiological sensory stimuli trigger this plasticity in both young and mature nervous systems.

Theme B: Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia: Cellular MechanismsArchitecture, Symmetry, and Mechanism of Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors CMEEric Gouaux, PhD — Oregon Health & Science University, Vollum Institute/ Howard Hughes Medical Institute Saturday, Nov. 13, 2 – 3:10 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Glutamate mediates the majority of fast synaptic neurotransmission in the human brain by acting on three subfamilies of ionotropic glutamate recep-tors — AMPA, kainate, and NMDA — and open-ing cation-permeable ion channels. Despite the cloning of these genes ~20 years ago, only recently have we obtained an understanding of relation-

ships between molecular structure and function in the context of an intact receptor. The presenter will describe the architecture and inter-nal symmetry of iGluRs, illustrating how structural advances have enriched our understanding of receptor mechanism and function.

of methods for identifying connectivity, and how they can be used to understand circuit function, will be followed by a description of laboratory work, on developing and using rabies virus-based sys-tems for tracing neural circuits and linking them to function.

How Do I Smell? A Guided Tour of Human and Insect Olfaction CMELeslie B. Vosshall, PhD — The Rockefeller University/Howard Hughes Medical Institute Tuesday, Nov. 16, 11:30 a.m. – 12:40 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

In this lecture, Dr. Vosshall discusses how olfac-tory cues communicate information about the external world, including chemical signatures of dominance status, estrus, food, and predators. While the neural circuitry of smell perception in insects and vertebrates is organized along simi-lar principles, the molecular odorant receptors of

insects are radically different. Certain mosquito species have evolved an intense attraction to humans and in doing so serve as deadly vec-tors of infectious disease that plague most of the developing world.

Theme E: Homeostatic and Neuroendocrine SystemsNeurogenetics of Circadian Clocks in Mammals CMEJoseph S. Takahashi, PhD — University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center/Howard Hughes Medical Institute Sunday, Nov. 14, 8:30 – 9:40 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

This lecture will highlight the tremendous prog-ress has been made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of circadian clocks in ani-mals. Genetic analysis has revealed a conserved set of genes that form a transcriptional autoregulatory feedback loop to generate cell autonomous circa-dian oscillations. The discovery of clock genes has

led to the realization that circadian gene expression is widespread throughout the body in mammals. In addition to the central control of circadian rhythms, it is now appreciated that circadian control in peripheral tissues affects a wide variety of physiological systems.

Neurobiology of Social Bonding and Monogamy: Implications for Autism Spectrum Disorders CMELarry J. Young, PhD — Yerkes National Primate Center, Emory University Wednesday, Nov. 17, 8:30 – 9:40 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Monogamous prairie voles have provided great insights into brain mechanisms underlying social cognition and bonding. Oxytocin and vasopressin facilitate pair bond formation in prairie voles by acting on receptors in reward centers of the brain. Diversity in these peptide systems in the brain contribute to diversity in social behavior. The presenter will discuss

the remarkable parallels in the function of these peptides in human social cognition suggest these findings may inform novel treatment strategies for psychiatric disorders characterized by social impairments.

Theme F: Cognition and BehaviorLearning and Memory Mechanisms in Songbirds and Humans: Sleep On It! CMEDan Margoliash, PhD — University of Chicago Monday, Nov. 15, 11:30 a.m. – 12:40 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

In humans and animals, sleep has a wide range of effects on memory formation. This lecture will examine how birdsong learning, a model of vocal learning, demonstrates the role of sleep in sensory memorization and sensorimotor learn-ing. Studying birdsong from the perspective of sleep is helping us to understand how vocal

learning is integrated in the brain, and is informing our under-standing of sleep and learning processes in other systems.

Lasting Traces: How H.M. Shaped the Science of Memory CMESuzanne H. Corkin, PhD — Massachusetts Institute of Technology Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1 – 2:10 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

At age 27, Henry Molaison (H.M.) received an experi-mental operation to alleviate intractable epilepsy. Bilateral removal of his medial temporal lobe structures left him with a dense amnesia but preserved intellect. The presenter will highlight results from 55 years of behavioral and imaging studies showing that short-term, long-term, declarative, and nondeclarative memory

rely on different brain circuits. H.M. died in 2008, leaving his brain for further study. He continues to illuminate the science of memory.

Theme G: Novel Methods and Technology DevelopmentGenetic Dissection of the Mouse Brain: Toward a 21st Century Brain Pharmacology CMENathaniel Heintz, PhD — The Rockefeller University/Howard Hughes Medical Institute Tuesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 – 9:40 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Ballroom 20

Systematic genetic approaches provide unprec-edented and reproducible experimental access to each of the hundreds of cell types present in the mouse nervous system. Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) profiling has revealed the astounding biochemical complexi-ties of these cell types, and their unique responses

to behavioral, environmental, or genetic alterations. This lecture will focus on the uses of the TRAP methodology for discovery of the molecular properties of neurons in health and disease, and for development of a new pharmacology for the mammalian brain.



Symposia

Theme A: Development

Transcriptional Control Mechanisms in Axon Growth and Regeneration CMEChair: Jeffrey L. Goldberg, MD, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

The failure of axon regeneration in the mammalian central nervous system remains a major problem in basic and clinical neu-roscience, relevant both to understanding neural development, as well as approach-ing neural injury and degenerative disease. Recent advances in our understanding of the neuron’s intrinsic mechanisms of axon growth regulation during development and in the adult have pointed toward tran-scriptional and translational controls. This symposium highlights molecular mecha-nisms recently found to play a role in these processes, from chromatin level process-ing through complex transcription factor interactions through mRNA stabilization.

Theme B: Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia: Cellular Mechanisms

New Advances in Calcium Signaling in Neuronal Function and Disease CMEChair: Shmuel Muallem, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

Ca2+ controls virtually all neuronal func-tion and aberrant Ca2+ signaling leads to neurodegeneration. Major strides recently made in Ca2+ signaling that will be discussed are the inositol pyrophosphates and inosi-tol polyphosphates and their kinases in the context of their role in cell life and death; the function of the IP3 receptors as signal converters that translates information from IP3 to Ca2+ signals; and the properties and physiological roles of the Orai channels and the Presenilins as passive ER Ca2+ leak chan-nels and its implications in AD pathogenesis.

Single Molecule Detection Techniques for Studying Exocytosis CMEChair: Vladimir Parpura, MD, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6F

Exocytotic release of transmitters is mediated by the ternary SNARE complex comprised of syntaxin 1, SNAP25, and synaptobrevin 2. The form of this complex is consistent with its function in the positioning of vesicles to the plasma membrane and their fusion to it. The recent advances in single molecule techniques, however, bring an additional layer of complexity to this process. The sym-posium provides a fertile ground for discus-sions regarding the new information that single molecule techniques can provide in unveiling the mechanism(s) of exocytosis.

Theme C: Disorders of the Nervous System

CNS Pericytes in Health and Diseases CMEChair: David I. Attwell, PhD Co-chair: Turgay Dalkara, MD, PhD Saturday, Nov. 13, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

Pericytes, cells on the outside of brain capil-laries, recently have been shown to regulate cerebral blood flow and are likely to con-tribute to functional imaging signals. After stroke they produce a long-lasting decrease of blood flow that damages neurons. They also have roles in angiogenesis and blood brain barrier maintenance, and they may

act as stem cells. This symposium provides the latest information on what we do and do not know about pericyte function.

Emerging Biology of Orexin/Hypocretin and Related Peptides CMEChair: Anantha Shekhar, MD, PhD Co-chair: Gary S. Aston-Jones, PhD Saturday, Nov. 13, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6F

Orexin/hypocretin (ORX) producing neurons regulate feeding, wakefulness, vigilance, reward seeking and autonomic responses. Loss of ORX neurons has been linked to narcolepsy and new data that the opposite situation of over activ-ity of the ORX neurons leads to panic attacks. This symposium brings together international experts on this topic to discuss the role of ORX in narcolepsy, obesity, addictions, and panic disorder, using novel techniques such as gene regulation and optical stimulation.

AD-360°: Non-Amyloid Mechanisms in Alzheimer’s Disease Pathogenesis CMEChair: Sanjay W. Pimplikar, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

It is becoming clear that amyloid-ß peptides do not account for all the observations related to AD pathogenesis. Diverse findings support the view that non-amyloid factors contrib-ute significantly to AD. Recent studies have uncovered potential mechanisms that could be operative in disease. This symposium provides a serious platform — not amyloid-bashing — to discuss the non-amyloid pathways. A com-plete, 360° view of AD pathogenesis is needed to achieve effective therapeutic strategies.

Experience-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity and Neurogenesis in the Degenerating and Injured Brain CMEChair: Michael W. Jakowec, PhD Co-chair: Carl W. Cotman, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

The role of experience in modeling the brain has become a field of great scientific interest. This symposium highlights recent develop-ments in understanding the role of experience, in the form of exercise and the environment, in modifying synaptic structure and function, and neurogenesis in neurodegenerative disor-ders (Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases), models of injury (ischemia), and aging. The effect of experience on behavior, pathology and synaptic function will be discussed.

Public Symposium

Autism: Progress and Prospects CMEChair: Gerald D. Fischbach, MD Support contributed by: The Autism Science Foundation and Pfizer, Inc. Saturday, Nov. 13, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

Proteostasis Network Modulation as a New Therapeutic Approach to Neurodegenerative Diseases CMEChair: Peter Reinhart, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

Every cell and tissue in the body needs to maintain protein homeostasis, or proteosta-sis, to function optimally. The proteostasis network maintains the proper expres-sion, translation, folding, and trafficking of proteins. Dysregulation of proteostasis occurs with age and as a result of missense mutations, leading to disease. This sym-posium describes key concepts of the pro-teostasis network, its role in age-associated pathologies and potential as a therapeutic target in neurodegenerative diseases.

The Neuregulin Pathway: From Neural Function to Psychiatric Disorders CMEChair: Andres Buonanno, PhD Co-chair: David A. Talmage, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

Neuregulin and its receptor ErbB4 regulate neurodevelopment and are associated with psychiatric disorders. The symposium pres-ents novel findings that emphasize how neu-regulin signaling: (1) regulates migration/sur-vival of GABAergic neurons critical for neural network activity; (2) regulates glutamatergic, dopaminergic and cholinergic neurotrans-mission; (3) modulates hippocampal and cortical circuits; and (4) influences animal behaviors that model psychiatric disorders.

Theme D: Sensory and Motor Systems

Removing Brakes on Adult Brain Plasticity: Molecular, Cellular, and Behavioral Interventions CMEChair: Daphne Bavelier, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

Brain plasticity and learning in the adult brain are well established. Yet adult brain plastic-ity remains more restricted in its scope than developmental plasticity, a major limitation in rehabilitation of function. This symposium addresses the conditions under which brain plasticity and learning can be facilitated in the adult brain, taking the visual system as a model of choice. Brakes to plasticity in adult-hood will be reviewed. The ways genetic, pharmacological, and behavioral interventions may overcome these brakes will be discussed.

Ringing Ears: The Neuroscience of Tinnitus CMEChair: Larry E. Roberts, PhD Co-chair: James Kaltenbach, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6F

Tinnitus is a phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) that impairs quality of life for millions around the world and for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most cases are associated with hearing impair-ment caused by noise exposure or the aging process. This symposium reports ground breaking research into how tinnitus is gen-erated and modulated by the brain when hearing loss occurs. The findings have impli-cations for public policy and for mecha-nisms of normal auditory perception.

Visceral Nociception: Bidirectional Interaction Between the Viscera and Brain CMEChair: Matthew O. Fraser, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

This session describes normal nociceptive pro-cessing from pelvic viscera to the spinal cord, brain stem and the brain and how changes along this pathway may result in functional pain syndromes. For most, integration of input and modulatory signals occurs within and between each level, resulting in aware-ness of injury until healed. In functional pain syndromes, anomalous interoceptive influ-ences at one or more levels may cause chronic hyperalgesia even without a noxious stimulus.

The Molecules and Cells of Mammalian Touch CMEChair: Ellen A. Lumpkin, PhD Co-chair: Diana M. Bautista, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

Among the mammalian senses, touch remains the most enigmatic at the molecular level. Our brains distinguish an astonishing assort-ment of tactile features, such as textures, shapes and vibration, in our surroundings. Touch-sensitive neurons display a correspond-ing diversity of responses and cellular mor-phologies. This symposium highlights recent breakthroughs in our understanding of mol-ecules, labeled lines, and circuits that encode touch in the mammali an nervous system.

The Cerebellum and the Adaptive Control of Movements CMEChair: Reza Shadmehr, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

Motor commands vary because of noise and changing expectations of reward, and response of muscles vary because of fatigue and changing dynamics of the environment. Despite this, the healthy brain produces accurate movements. Here, we present neu-rophysiological and neuropsychological basis of this compensatory process, suggesting the cerebellum monitors the motor commands as a movement unfolds, and learns from previ-ous errors to compensate for their variability.

Theme E: Homeostatic and Neuroendocrine Systems

Transgenerational Inheritance and Epigenetics: Animal Models of Neuropsychiatric Disease CMEChair: Tracy L. Bale, PhD Co-chair: Frances A. Champagne, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

This symposium discusses the latest infor-mation on transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of stress-mediated traits and the molecular mechanisms behind them. This fast-paced field has moved into 2nd and 3rd generations to identify novel epigenetic pro-gramming events involved in disease risk. The expert speakers will discuss stress influences across developmental time points utilizing cutting-edge analyses including evaluation of miRNAs, histones, and DNA methylation.


The Pleasure of Eating and Moving Around: A Role for Lateral Hypothalamic Orexin and MCH Neurons CMEChair: Hans-Rudolf Berthoud, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

To make adaptive behavioral choices, information from the internal milieu and the external world needs to be constantly evaluated and integrated. Recent observa-tions implicate specialized peptidergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus as playing important roles in sensing meta-bolic need and coordinating reward-driven, goal-directed behaviors such as eating with physical activity and autonomic outflow. They are thus promising targets for develop-ing therapies to rebalance eating and energy expenditure in the fight against obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome.

Theme F: Cognition and Behavior

The Critical Role of Cues and Contexts in Reward: Relevance for Addiction CMEChair: Paul Vezina, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6F

It has become increasingly clear that inter-actions between primary rewards and the stimuli associated with them are complex and involve more than the simple elicitation of conditional responses by drug-paired cues. This symposium discusses the critical role played by reward related cues and contexts in the control of drug-induced behaviors in both human and non-human animals as well as the potential neurobiological mecha-nisms involved, with an emphasis on how they may contribute to addictive behavior.

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Memory Allocation in Neuronal Circuits CMEChair: Alcino J. Silva, PhD Co-chair: Sheena A. Josselyn, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6F

This symposium reviews recent studies on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that

determine how specific neurons and synapses within a circuit are recruited during learning (memory allocation). Using approaches that allow tagging, imaging, activation, and inac-tivation of specific neurons in behaving ani-mals, recent findings demonstrated that mem-ory allocation is not random, but rather spe-cific mechanisms regulate where information is stored within a neural circuit. Organized storage saves space, minimizes search times, and reduces errors during retrieval.

Memory Enhancement Strategies for the Treatment of Cognitive Disorders CMEChair: James A. Bibb, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B

Recent advances in our understanding of the basis of cognition can now be translated into learning and memory enhancement. We will explore strategies to improve cognition from diverse perspectives. Cognitive deficiencies have been viewed as irreversible and linked with aging, neurodegeneration, and more recently, mental illnesses. Our work exempli-fies a new wave in the study of how memories are written and stored with emphasis on iden-tifying the mechanisms involved and targeting them for the treatment of cognitive disorders.

Erasing Fear Memories with Extinction CMEChair: Gregory J. Quirk, PhD Co-chair: Dennis Pare, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A

Extinction of learned fears is the basis of exposure-based therapies for anxiety dis-orders in which the patient is repeatedly exposed to trauma-eliciting stimuli within a safe context. Decades of psychological research have taught us that extinction does not erase the original fear memory, but instead forms a new inhibitory memory, which may or may not prevent expression of fear memories. However, recent adaptations of extinction can lead to editing or elimina-tion of the original fear memory. Speakers will describe these new findings and implica-tions for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Revolutionary microscopy techniques have finally enabled measurement of protein arrangement and dynamics over nanometer distances in live cells. Synapse function is regu-lated precisely on this scale, so we will highlight the first wave of results using super-resolution imaging of synapse biochemistry and structure. By integrating these approaches with tradi-tional methods, we aim to elucidate cytoskel-eton dynamics and Ca2+ signaling that regulate synapse growth and plasticity at the nanoscale.

Regulation of the Postsynaptic Cytoskeleton: Roles in Development, Plasticity, and Disorders CMEChair: Scott Soderling, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 30E

The dendritic spine is exquisitely organized at the functional level. Spatially distinct pools of actin orchestrate dynamic fea-tures of the spine during synapse develop-ment and plasticity. Emerging studies are illuminating how the actin cytoskeleton regulates synaptic function and how their disruption may lead to neurological disor-ders. This minisymposium discusses these

recent findings and their implications for our future understandings of mechanisms of information processing and storage.

Inhibitory Circuitry and Cortical Development CMEChair: Robert C. Froemke, PhD Co-chair: Sunil P. Gandhi, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6E

This minisymposium presents new results on inhibitory circuit function in visual, auditory, and frontal cortex, describing how inhibition shapes cortical development and plasticity. Using a wide range of experimental techniques, including neuronal transplan-tation, in vivo two-photon microscopy of neuronal structure and function, and in vivo whole-cell electrophysiology, the aim of this minisymposium is to reveal shared principles of cortical development and plasticity.

Origin and Mechanisms of Sleep Slow Oscillation CMEChair: Igor Timofeev, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6E

Slow-wave sleep is characterized by a slow oscillation (<1 Hz) that appears as an alterna-tion of active (UP) and silent (DOWN) states. Synchronous neuronal activity during slow oscillation generates EEG slow waves. How does this activity start and terminate when all neurons are in the same state? Does thalamus or cortical glial cells play a role in the genera-tion of slow waves? Do human and animal brains generate slow waves in the same way? This symposium addresses these questions.


Reelin: From Neurodevelopment to Adult Synaptic Plasticity and Age-Related Neurodegeneration CMEChair: Irene Knuesel, PhD Co-chair: Michael Frotscher, MD Saturday, Nov. 13, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 29D

The symposium discusses newest find-ings on converging signaling pathways by which Reelin controls neuronal functions


in the developing, adult, and aging brain. Topics include the role of Reelin in cyto-skeleton regulation, synaptic strength and plasticity, impact of age-related decline in Reelin expression on neuronal integrity, amyloid precursor protein processing, and Tau phosphorylation in Alzheimer’s disease, pointing to dysfunctional neurodevelop-mental processes as a critical driving force of aging-related neurodegenerative processes.

AKTion in the Brain: Emerging Roles for PI3K/Akt Signaling in Development, Cognition, and Psychiatric Disease CMEChair: Thomas F. Franke, MD, PhD Co-chair: Daniel R. Weinberger, MD Sunday, Nov. 14, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6E

Exciting new research suggests a role for phospatidyinolitol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt in normal and pathological cognition. Here, we seek to provide a forum for the rigorous evaluation of relationships between PI3K/Akt signaling and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and neurodevelopment, behavior and mental illness. By highlight-ing advances in our understanding of these signaling components, we will critically evaluate evidence for their involvement in addiction, autism, and schizophrenia.

Dendritic Spine Dysfunction in Mental Disorders CMEChair: Peter Penzes, PhD Co-chair: David A. Lewis, MD Monday, Nov. 15, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 30E

Speakers will discuss recent research and conceptual advances regarding the dysregu-lation of structural plasticity at spiny syn-apses in mental disorders. We will focus on schizophrenia and autism, where a role for abnormal synaptic plasticity and connectivity is well documented. Talks will explore cel-lular neuropathological alterations and their potential genetic and mechanistic underpin-nings, which may involve the disruption of signaling by small GTPases, neuregulin, DISC1, kalirin-7, neuroligin, and Epac2.

Differential Neuropsychobiological Substrates of Opioid and Psychostimulant Addiction CMEChair: Yavin Shaham, PhD Co-chair: Aldo Badiani, MD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 29D

The received wisdom that addiction is a universal pathophysiological process is chal-lenged by evidence of dissociable neuroadap-tations to opioid and psychostimulant drugs. This symposium considers the possibility that opiate addiction and psychostimulant addiction are etiologically, neurobiologi-cally, and psychologically different. Presenters will review new findings on the different psychobiological substrates of vulnerability to opiate and psychostimulant addictions, and their different phenomenologies.

Neurological Functions of the Masterswitch Protein Kinase, GSK-3: From Neurogenesis, Mood and Memory to Disease CMEChair: James Robert Woodgett, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 30E

This minisymposium highlights the latest find-ings on the functional organization of color circuits, from the retina through primary visual cortex and higher-order visual areas, using a range of techniques, providing a comprehensive view of our current under-standing of the neural basis for color vision.

Colored Numbers and Tasted Sounds: What Synesthesia Reveals about Neural Crosstalk CMEChair: David M. Eagleman, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 29D

In synesthesia, normal sensory stimulation triggers an anomalous sensory experience. For example, a sound may not only be heard — but also seen, tasted, or felt as a touch. Synesthesia results from increased cross-talk between sensory areas, but details have remained unknown. This session presents cut-ting-edge research into the varieties of synes-thesia, elucidating behavior, neuroimaging, and genetics to show how synesthetic brains yield surprising insights into normal brain function.


Functional Interactions Between Stress and the Endocannabinoid System: From Synaptic Signaling to Behavioral Output CMEChair: Matthew N. Hill, PhD Co-chair: Jaideep S. Bains, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6E

Endocannabinoid signaling is an important regulator of transmitter release and synaptic signaling. Recent research has demonstrated a potentially important role for this system in the regulation of physiological, neuroendocrine, and behavioural response to stress. The current minisynposium provides an overview of the mechanisms by which endocannabinoid signal-ing integrates into both the hypothalamic-pitu-itary-adrenal axis and the limbic structures sub-serving regulation of this neuroendocrine axis.

Neural Components of Feeding Control: From Signaling to Hedonics and Emotions CMEChair: Heike Muenzberg, PhD Co-chair: Sebastien G. Bouret, PhD Tuesday, Nov. 16, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 29D

Obesity and the underlying defects in feeding and energy homeostasis are a public health concern and involve a complex network of cen-tral control and peripheral organs. This mini-symposium focuses on the neural regulation of feeding and energy homeostasis by highlight-ing novel approaches in obesity research as well as interdisciplinary aspects from hedonic food intake/addiction, thermoregulation, neurogenesis/neuronal plasticity, stress and emotion, as well as neuroendocrinology.


The Role of Acetylcholine in Cortical Processing and Plasticity CMEChair: Michael A. Silver, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center, Room 30E

Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmit-ter to be discovered, and its biochemical and cognitive effects have been intensely studied for several decades. This minisymposium high-lights recent anatomical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, behavioral, and brain imag-ing studies of the functions of acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex. The results of these studies shed light on the neural mechanisms underlying cholinergic modulation of atten-tion, learning, and encoding of sensory stimuli.

Model-Based Neuroimaging and Decision Neuroscience CMEChair: Birte U. Forstmann, PhD Co-chair: Hauke R. Heekeren, MD, PhD Wednesday, Nov. 17, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 30E

To understand how the brain makes decisions, recent work in the neurosciences has started to make use of formal models of behavior. Such model-based analyses bridge the gap between brain and behavior and facilitate the testing of theories for cognition.

Theme G: Novel Methods and Technology Development

Toward the Second Generation of Optogenetic Tools CMEChair: Thomas Knopfel, MD Co-chair: Edward Boyden, PhD Monday, Nov. 15, 8:30 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 29D

The optogenetic toolbox involves genetically encoded actuators and reporters, proteins that allow using light to control or to moni-tor molecular processes in neural systems. Optical methods enable fast and spatially well resolved experimental manipulations and measurements. A first generation of genetically-encoded calcium reporters, fluo-rescent proteins, and neural activators has already had great impact on neuroscience; a second generation of voltage reporters, neural silencers, and extended fluorescent proteins bears great promise to continue this revolu-tion. Speakers will be particularly encour-aged to highlight limitations of the presently available optogenic tools and discuss where the technologies are headed in the future.

Theme H: History, Teaching, Public Awareness, and Societal Impacts in Neuroscience

Exploring Interdisciplinary Pathways: Enriching Neuroscience Research by Connecting to Educational Practice and TheoryChair: Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, EdD Co-chair: Thomas Carew, PhD Sunday, Nov. 14, 1:30 – 4 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 29D

Recent discussion in the SfN community has focused on the benefit to education of collaborations among neuroscientists and school teachers. This session begins the essential complementary discussion, address-ing how neuroscience research itself can be strengthened by an educational perspective. Cognitive neuroscientists doing research with an integral connection to education will discuss the unique contribution of the educational component, as well as intel-lectual, pragmatic, and ethical issues.

SfN Short Course #1 ✍ $

Genes, Photons, and Electrons: New Solutions for Problems in Systems NeuroscienceFriday, Nov. 12, 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6B Organizer: Michael Hausser, DPhil Contact: Liz Larabell, [email protected]

The last decade has seen a dramatic resur-gence of interest in systems neuroscience, together with new optimism that many of its longstanding problems can soon be solved. This has been driven in part by the growing realization that an understanding at the level of the neural circuit is essential if we are to link the cellular and molecular properties of neurons and synaptic con-nections to behavior; and by the develop-ment of a range of new technologies for manipulating neural circuits with unprec-edented temporal and spatial precision.

This course brings together tool developers at the forefront of these advances and those who are applying new tools to address long-standing challenges in systems neuroscience. Lecturers span the range of approaches and levels involved in the modern study of neural circuits, from new genetically encoded probes for circuit tracing and activity monitoring, to new imaging and electrophysiological

Workshops, Meetings & EventsProfessional Development, Advocacy, and Networking Resources

approaches for dissecting activity patterns in defined neural populations during behavior, to new methods for manipulating activity in intact circuits to make causal links between circuit elements and behavior. Emphasis will be on defining the key open questions in systems neuroscience and how new tools can be used to solve them, and on comparing practical advantages and limitations of various methods, with a view toward future developments. This day-long course consists of a series of lectures, followed by informal breakout sessions.


Posttranscriptional Regulation in Nervous System Development and PlasticityFriday, Nov. 12, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6F Organizers: Kenneth S. Kosik, MD; Sourav Banerjee, PhD Contact: Liz Larabell, [email protected]

The microRNAs are a cytoplasmic layer of posttranscriptional control comparable in complexity to the transcriptional control system in the nucleus. As a system miRNA target sets are capable of revealing func-tional networks of transcripts and their local roles in dendrites have revealed much about plasticity. miRNA biology also has opened a broad window on developmental neuro-biology. Using a diversity of model systems, the course highlights the growing realms of RNA-mediated regulation. This day-long course consists of a series of lectures, fol-lowed by informal breakout sessions.


Analysis and Function of Large-Scale Brain NetworksFriday, Nov. 12, 8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6E Organizer: Olaf Sporns, PhD Contact: Liz Larabell, [email protected]

Identification and quantitative analysis of brain networks offers new perspectives on the structure and function of the human brain. This course provides an introduc-tion to graph-based and dynamic tools for network analysis, and surveys their applica-tion to resting and task-evoked brain activ-ity, individual variations in cognition and behavior, neurocognitive development, and disease states of the brain. This day-long course consists of a series of lectures, fol-lowed by informal breakout sessions.

Neurobiology of Disease Workshop ✍ $

The Neurobiology of ObesitySupport contributed by Lundbeck Research USA and NINDS Friday, Nov. 12, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 6A Organizers: Timothy Moran, PhD; Martin Myers, MD, PhD Contact: Liz Larabell, [email protected]

Obesity represents an escalating global health threat that predisposes millions of individu-als to a plethora of comorbid illnesses and reduced life expectancy, and incurs $117 bil-lion in annual health care costs in the United States alone. Pharmacologic therapies to decrease appetite and increase energy expen-diture would be useful in preventing and treating obesity, but the limited understanding of the neural and molecular mechanisms that regulate these processes previously hindered the development of truly effective long-term therapies. Recent work has made important inroads into the neural mechanisms underly-ing the control of energy balance, and ongo-ing research promises to continue apace.

This workshop focuses on the neurobiology of energy balance, with a major focus on the processes that control eating. Starting with the description of the obesity syndrome, patient experience, and the physiologic sys-tems that modulate feeding and energy bal-ance, the morning sessions will present the pertinent neural systems and their interaction with peripheral cues and current treatment options and their theoretical and practi-cal limitations. In the afternoon, interactive workshop sessions delve into issues and methodology relating to the neural regula-tors of energy homeostasis (including hypo-thalamic, hindbrain, and reward centers), as well as important environmental, hormonal, and developmental regulators of these sys-tems. Neuroimaging and genetic methods will be covered, along with pharmacologic approaches to intervention. Participants will leave with a broad exposure to the current state of our knowledge of the pathophysiol-ogy of this profound public health challenge.

Target audience: graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and assistant professors.

Registration is limited and only available online.

Marius Wernig, MD, PhD, Stanford UniversityUsing Transcription Factors to Induce Cell Fate ChangesManchester Grand Hyatt: Oxford

The ultimate promise of pluripotent stem cell research is the potential to create cus-tomized genetically matched cells that, when transplanted, will repair and replace dam-aged tissues. Researchers are exploring the therapeutic potential of pluripotent stem cells by differentiating into neural precursors and evaluate their migration, subtype specifica-tion and functional integration after trans-plantation. More recently, researchers asked whether factor-induced reprogramming can be applied to other systems and have identi-fied three transcription factors that could convert fibroblasts into functional neurons.

Yasmin Hurd, PhD, Mount Sinai School of MedicinePost-Mortem Studies of the Human Brain: Dissecting the Confounds to Illuminate Addiction DisordersManchester Grand Hyatt: Del Mar

Molecular studies of the human brain are fraught with pre- and post-mortem con-founds related to technical issues and indi-vidual considerations that have important implications for experimental design and interpretation of results. Despite these chal-lenges, researchers have demonstrated the fea-sibility of studying discrete gene and protein expression in the brains of drug abusers. This has helped to illuminate specific neurobiologi-cal features underlying addiction disorders. In this session, the expert discusses advantages and challenges of molecular analyses of the human brain in relation to addiction disorder.

Experts describe their research techniques and accomplishments in a personal context that offers participants a behind-the-scenes look at factors influencing the expert’s work. Each



Marla Feller, PhD, University of California-BerkeleyUsing Synaptic Physiology, Imaging, and Transgenic Mice to Study the Development of Retinal CircuitsManchester Grand Hyatt: Mohsen

The expert will highlight how the retinal circuitry changes during development such that it transitions from spontaneously gen-erating retinal waves to an adult sensory epithelium that performs specific compu-tations on the visual scene. Specifically, the expert describes recent results that address whether retinal waves play a role in establishment of circuits that mediate direction selective responses the retina.

Dietmar Plenz, PhD, National Institutes of HealthNeuronal Avalanches: Off the Beaten PathManchester Grand Hyatt: Ford AB

Complex systems, when poised at the tran-sition between order and disorder, exhibit scale-free, power law dynamics. These critical systems are highly adaptive and flexibly pro-cess and store information, which for decades prompted the conjecture that the brain might operate at criticality. Discovery of neuronal avalanches in superficial layers of cortex in 2001 provides solid experimental evidence that indeed the brain might be critical. Results demonstrate that neuronal avalanches and coherence potentials are signatures of critical network dynamics at which the cortex gains universal properties found at criticality.

George Paxinos, PhD, Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute and The University of New South WalesBrain, Behavior, and EvolutionManchester Grand Hyatt: Madeleine AB

Support contributed by Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory UniversityAfter collaborating with Luis Puelles to construct an atlas of the bird brain, Charles Watson and the expert became interested in what genetic markers can tell us about brain organization. Birds, incidentally, have a first-class brain; they just have not had good public relations. Based on what was learned from work on the bird brain and subsequent valida-tion on the mouse brain using transgenic mice, researchers constructed an ontology of the brain that can be found in BrainNavigator. The most controversial suggestion is that the pons do not exist as a subdivision of the brain in the same subordination as the rhomben-cephalon, mesencephalon, and diencephalon.

Bruce Cumming, MD, PhD, National Institutes of HealthBridging the Gap Between Sensory Neurons and SensationManchester Grand Hyatt: Madeleine CD

Two successes of systems neuroscience have been (1) quantitative models that give a good account of the mechanisms that produce sig-nals in the visual cortex; and (2) techniques that identify contributions of these signals to perception in awake animals. However, many models deliver signals that are insufficient to support perception. These differences are well defined in binocular vision, providing an effective model system to improve our under-standing of how early processing is special-ized for perceptually relevant processing, and how this is related to perceptual judgments.

Theresa Lee, PhD, University of MichiganHow to Pick the Right Species for the Right Problem: Creating a “Non-Standard” Research CareerManchester Grand Hyatt: Annie AB

The expert has chosen a variety of research problems that led to working with “non-standard” lab animals. She will discuss how to think outside the box to come up with interesting research questions and select the best model systems for studying them. While using unusual models to study behavior, physiology, and neuroscience, the same principles can be applied to more molecular levels of analysis. The expert will provide examples of how different animal models can be developed, the benefits and drawbacks of not working with common lab animals, and how taking the uncom-mon path leads to an uncommon career.

Jane Taylor, PhD, Yale UniversityWhy Sex Differences Should Matter to NeuroscientistsManchester Grand Hyatt: Maggie

Sex differences are being revealed in brain func-tion and behavior. Recent studies have focused on the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms. It is becoming clear that sex dif-ferences are not simply reflective of differences in sex hormones, but also in chromosomal complement. How sex differences impact learn-ing, memory, and adaptive behavior both in health and psychiatric disease has become an emerging focus of my research. What are the advantages and disadvantages to incorporat-ing the study of sex differences into research, and do we have an obligation to do so?

Allison Doupe, MD, PhD, University of California, San FranciscoA Bird’s Eye View of Song, Science, and PsychiatryManchester Grand Hyatt: Ford C

Songbirds provide a powerful animal model for the process of human speech learning. Because they have neural circuitry similar to all vertebrates but have a specialized subset of these for their vocal behavior, the study of brain-behavior relationships in the song pathways is simplified. Such study has recently begun to provide general insights into mecha-nisms of sensory and motor learning, with potential relevance to neuropsychiatric disease. The expert shares her enthusiasm for this sys-tem, as well as some science and thoughts on the plusses and minuses of working in a non-mammalian model and on being an MD/PhD.

Cedric Williams, PhD, University of VirginiaInteractions Between the Periphery and Brain: Clues to Understanding the Impact of Emotional Arousal on Memory FormationManchester Grand Hyatt: Emma A

Hormones secreted from the adrenals after exposure to emotional encounters facilitate memory by initiating norepinephrine output in limbic regions. Hormones such as epineph-rine cannot enter the brain to produce direct effects on structures that actively process memory. As such, the session will present a summary of the behavioral, electrophysiologi-cal and neurochemical approaches used to identify how neural pathways in the periphery convey the actions of arousal-related hor-mones to brainstem noradrenergic neurons to produce optimal mnemonic performance.

Animals in Research Panel ✍Conferring Legal Rights to Animals: Research in the CrosshairsMonday, Nov. 15, 9 – 11 a.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 11 Organizer: Sharon Juliano, PhDSpeakers: Roberto Caminiti, MD; Michael Conn, PhD; Richard Cupp, JDContact: Laura Martin, [email protected]

With more than 100 law schools now offer-ing at least one animal law course, the field has expanded dramatically in the past decade. With this growth comes an increased focus on seeking to grant animals the same rights as humans, or personhood, which would have significant ramifications for all research. How is this growing legal strategy already impacting animal research? What does its continued expansion mean for neurosci-ence, other research, and even the family pet? How should the science community engage to address this trend? The panel will address these questions. Breakfast will be served.

Essential Skills for a Successful Mentoring Relationship Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2 – 5 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 3 Organizer: Michael Lehman, PhD Contact: Liz Larabell, [email protected]

Mentoring has long been recognized as a key means for promoting successful careers in science; in addition, recent literature vali-dates mentoring as one of the most effective tools for increasing diversity in academic ranks. Our view of mentoring has recently expanded to include career development support that spans the entire life cycle of a neuroscientist, as well as the emergence of new, more flexible approaches in which a network of “multiple mentors” addresses a variety of career competencies. In this work-shop, speakers will explore this expanding definition of mentoring, including the variety of approaches used, and its use as a power-ful tool for promoting career development of minorities and women in neuroscience.

Why Academia? Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2 – 5 p.m. San Diego Convention Center: Room 4 Organizer: Margarita Dubocovich, PhD Contact: Liz Larabell, [email protected]

This workshop describes all aspects of careers and professional development in academia. Leading neuroscientists provide overviews of their successful journeys toward and entries into top positions in academia, from undergraduate to graduate to postdoctoral experience and beyond. Each person’s career path is unique. Some have always aspired to careers in higher education, and oth-ers planned for something entirely different. This panel offers several perspectives on this exciting and often unpredictable journey.

The differences among positions in academia will be contrasted, and the advantages of each will be highlighted. The distinguished panel will touch on the undergraduate academic and research experience, the discovery of one’s desired area of research in graduate school, the challenges and rewards of the postdoctoral years, and how to successfully obtain and tran-sition to an assistant professor position, and how to effectively climb the academic ranks toward leadership positions from professor to chair, to dean, and beyond. Opportunities for individuals with PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees will be addressed, as well as the strategies for achieving career goals and success in academia.

Workshops, Meetings & Events



The Society for Neuroscience annual meet-ing is a forum for the education of physicians in the field of neuroscience. By attending lectures, symposia, and minisymposia, the physician will receive both a broad over-view of the field and information about the most recent, detailed research in the topic of the session. The abstract of each plenary or specific session contains brief descrip-tions of the material to be presented. By attending any of the activities, the physi-cian will better understand the basicscience that underlies clinical practice.

Statement of NeedIt is important that physicians compre-hend the basic science that underlies clini-cal medicine. The Society for Neuroscience annual meeting is the premier venue for this educational opportunity. Physicians learn about the most up-to-date, cutting-edge discoveries regarding the nervous system.

Global Learning ObjectiveGiven a patient with a neurological or psy-chiatric condition, physicians will integrate the most up-to-date information andresearch on the mechanism, treatment, and diagnosis of conditions related to neuro-logical and psychiatric disorders into their

Continuing Medical Educationdiagnostic and therapeutic modalities of practice in order to determine the best course of action in treating the patient.

Final Program 79


Speaker ResourcesNanosymposia, minisymposia, symposia, and lecture presenters are encouraged to check their media at least 24 hours in advance of presentation in the main Speaker-Ready Room, located in the San Diego Convention Center, Room 9, to confirm compatibility with the session room computers. Presenters using their own laptops MUST have a VGA 15 pin HD female video output cable. If the cable is not with the laptop computer being used, there is no way to connect it to the session room data/video projector.

NOTE: Many laptop computers use a special interface cable (e.g., DVI to VGA) to attach video out to the ses-sion room data/video projector.

Presenters must also have a copy of all external files, such as movie or sound files (e.g., .wav, .avi, .mpeg, etc.), contained within their PowerPoint presentations.

Available Audiovisual Equipment for Nanosymposia, Minisymposia, Symposia, and LecturesAlthough presenters are welcome to use a personal laptop for their presentation (see Tips for Presenter Using a Personal Laptop Computer below), the following audiovisual equipment will be set up in all session rooms:

• One data/video projector• One PC computer with a CD-ROM player

and an open USB port for flash drives• One screen (mutiple screens for lectures)• An audio system with microphones• One laser pointer• Projectionists to assist with audiovi-

sual equipment set-up and operation

Presentation Software for Nanosymposia, Minisymposia, Symposia, and LecturesThe ONLY available presentation software in each session room will be PowerPoint 2007 or Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 (PDF file-based). Presenters using other software (e.g., Mac-Keynote or PC-Corel Draw 12) should save their presentation in PowerPoint 2007 or Adobe Acrobat Reader 9. When saving a presentation into the recommended formats, remember to include the extension .ppt or .pdf, otherwise the session room comput-ers will not recognize the file format.

Recommended Presentation Storage MediaPresenters are urged to bring their presen-tation on a USB flash drive or CD-ROM to avoid setup delays between presenta-tions. Macintosh users should note that Macs can write a PC-formatted readable USB flash drive and CD-ROM. Presenters should arrive in their session room at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session to download their presentations onto the in-room computer hard drive.

Tips for Presenters Using a Personal Laptop ComputerPresenters using their own laptop comput-ers must be set up prior to the session start time to avoid setup time that will decrease their allotted presentation time. Presenters should be certain to have the most recent version/update of drivers installed.

NOTE: The laptop output resolution should be no more than XGA (1024x768). The native resolution on the data projectors are 1024 x 768 so higher resolutions will force the data projectors into a compression mode possibly losing some information or not projecting.

Poster SessionsProjection equipment will not be available in the poster area, and there will be no wire-less Internet access on the poster floor. No audiovisual orders will be accepted on-site.

Speaker Ready RoomSan Diego Convention Center: Room 9

HOURS:Friday, Nov. 12 — Wednesday, Nov. 177 a.m. – 5 p.m.

A limited number of computers with open USB ports for PC-formatted USB flash drives and CD-ROM drives will be available in the Speaker Ready Room. Speakers are urged to check their media at least 24 hours prior to their presentation.

Photo CreditsFinal Program Cover: The human enteric nervous system contains ~500 million neurons in 20 functional classes. All of these cells form from a small population of neural crest-derived cells that migrate through the bowel and vigorously proliferate before differentiating and extending neurites. This image shows a whole-mount preparation of the mouse small bowel myenteric plexus after NADPH diaphorase histochemistry.

Sunday Daily Book Cover: Temporal evolution of human V1 activation measured by fMRI while the subject saw a target grating surrounded by grating whose contrast was periodically and continuously modulated. Each curve represents the BOLD response of a voxel fitted by a sinusoidal function. The dark and bright traces show the responses of cortical areas corresponding to the stimulus center and surround, respectively. The activa-tion of two areas were negatively correlated when the center had high contrast (upper), and were negatively correlated when the center had low contrast (lower).

Monday Daily Book Cover: Cultured rat dopaminergic neurons labeled with the fluorescent cocaine analog JHC 1-64, which specifically binds the dopamine transporter. The labeling and imaging were performed with live do-paminergic neurons and show an extensive and uniform distribution of the transporter in the cells.

Tuesday Daily Book Cover and Page 5: Scanning electron microscope image shows the ciliated endings of olfactory sensory neurons, which cover the turbinates of the nasal passage and are directly exposed to the ex-ternal environment. Proper protein trafficking into these distinct subcellular compartments is essential since cilia serve as the site for odorant detection.

Wednesday Daily Book Cover and Page 14: Pseudo-colored maximal projection overlay of several confocal images of cultured mouse hippocampal neurons fluo-rescently labeled with antibodies against microtubule-associated protein (MAP2) (green) and against synapsins (yellow). These cultures have been used to uncover progressive degeneration of GABAergic synapses in knock-out mice lacking cysteine string protein-α.

Author Index Book Cover: Sodium channel immunofluo-rescence in axons of retinal ganglion cells. Bundles of labeled ganglion cell axons (vertical “tree trunks”) run across the surface of the retina in this view of a flat-mount retina stained with a pan-specific sodium channel antibody. The intensity scale is inverted so that bright objects appear black. In addition, short segments of intense sodium channel labeling (“tree twigs”) are found at the axon initial segments, between the axon bundles. More dimly labeled ganglion cell bodies (“tree leaves”) can also be seen. The sodium channels at the initial seg-ment are a distinct subtype, Nav1.6, which is required for optimal repetitive firing of retinal ganglion cells.
