Neural Circuits for Perception, Memory, Thought and Consciousness

The Gordon Research Seminar on Neurobiology of Cognition is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The 2016 meeting will provide participants with the opportunity to interact with fellow neuroscientists from a broad spectrum of backgrounds who share an interest in understanding the neural mechanisms underlying behavior. Attendees will have the opportunity to present and discuss cutting edge neuroscience topics and methods related to the neurobiology of perception, social and emotional processing, memory, and consciousness. The program will consist of poster presentations and a series of talks given by the attendees, who will be selected based on the content of their submitted abstracts. An important goal of the meeting will be to prepare participants for the upcoming GRC to follow. The GRS will include an interactive panel, titled "Faculty Transitions", focused on helping the attendees navigate the difficult world of transitioning from trainee to independent investigator.
