Hippocampus: The Integration of Molecular Mechanisms and Cognitive Function (J6)
Organizer(s) Erin M. Schuman, Mark R. Mayford and Matthew A. Wilson
March 1—6, 2001
Taos Convention Center (meeting only) • Taos, New Mexico USA
Abstract Deadline: Nov 1, 2000
Late Abstract Deadline:
Scholarship Deadline:
Early Registration Deadline: Jan 2, 2001
Joint Meeting:
The Synapse (J5)
Summary of Meeting:
The Hippocampus is a brain structure known to be important for memory formation and storage in humans and other animals. In the past five years there has been great progress in the analysis of hippocampal function at all levels, ranging from molecular studies of isolated hippocampal synaptic proteins, to genetic studies of mice, to imaging studies of memory in humans. Technical and scientific advances have shed new light on the nature of synapse formation, synaptic transmission and plasticity, and the cognitive function(s) of the hippocampus. Because these advances have been so rapid, there has been little opportunity to allow neuroscientists working at these different levels to meet and share data and ideas. The symposium will bring together scientists working at all levels of analysis of hippocampal function, in an attempt to synthesize our present knowledge, highlight major new findings, and point to important new directions for research.
