Program
We
are pleased to announce the inaugural Cold Spring
Harbor Asia Francis Crick Symposium on Neurobiology
which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu
Lake
Conference
Center
in Suzhou, China.
The Symposium will begin at 7.30pm on the evening
of Monday April 12th, and will conclude after
lunch on Saturday, April 17th.
This
Symposium is similar in design to the famous
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia series, now
in its 75th year. The Francis Crick Symposium
will include ten oral sessions and two poster
sessions covering the latest findings across
many topics in neurobiology. The majority of
the talks will be given by invited speakers
but some talks will be selected from the openly
submitted abstracts. Social events throughout
the Symposium provide ample opportunity for
informal interactions.
Topics
include:
Neurogenesis (embryonic and adult)
Neuronal development (polarization, axon guidance,
migration)
Synaptogenesis (formation, refinement)
Synaptic plasticity & cell biology of neurons
(ion channels, trafficking, regulation)
Neural circuit functions (sensory processing)
Neural circuit functions (others)
Cognitive functions (learning and memory)
Cognitive functions (others)

Abstracts
should contain only new and unpublished material
and must be submitted electronically by the abstract
deadline. Selection
of material for oral and poster presentation
will be made by the organizers. Status (fellow's
talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on
our web site as soon as decisions have been
made by the organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as
possible attend since they are likely to benefit
most from this meeting. We have applied for
funds from government and industry to partially
support graduate students and postdocs. Apply
in writing to stipends@csh-asia.org stating
need for financial support - preference is given
to those submitting abstracts.
We
look forward to seeing you at Suzhou
in April.
