Location: Toronto Sheraton Centre
Organizers: Paul Frankland and Mark Cembrowski (co-organizers)
We are hosting the second-annual “Circuits and Behaviour CAN Satellite Meeting”, a full-day satellite meeting that seeks to bring together Canadian neuroscientists working at the intersection of neural circuits and behaviour. The scientific scope of our meeting focuses on visualization and manipulation of neural circuits, and relating these properties to behaviour. Behaviour is broadly defined, including readouts involving cognition, emotion, motivation, stress, feeding, learning and memory, and motor function in both health and disorder. Technological developments involving next-generation approaches to visualize and manipulate neural circuits in a behavioural context will also be within the scope of this meeting.
To capture the breadth of Canadian research in this area, we will host a full-day satellite meeting incorporating a total of eight talks from Canadian principal investigators and four trainee talks. Our speakers are representative of the broad cross-Canada engagement in neural circuits and behaviour, and are balanced across gender, institutions, geographical locations, and career stages. Opportunities for discussion and networking will be facilitated by coffee breaks and a free lunch for registrants.
Speakers:
- Rose Bagot (McGill University)
- Tim Murphy (University of British Columbia)
- Matthew Hill (University of Calgary)
- Sheena Josselyn (SickKids Hospital)
- Ciaran Murphy-Royal (Université de Montréal)
- Derya Sargin (University of Calgary)
- Iva Zovkic (University of Toronto – Mississauga)
- Edward Ruthazer (McGill University)
