It will include a combination of oral sessions and poster sessions, covering the latest findings across many topics in neurobiology by bringing together a group of scientific leaders.

Major Topics:
- Neural development
- Neural function and synaptic plasticity
- Neural circuits and behaviors
- Sensory and motor systems
- Learning and memory
- Evolution of nervous systems
- Modeling human neurological diseases
- Neural techniques

Registration available until June 18, 2012
The on-line registration will be available until the meeting starts. But early registration will help to save cost.
