                          DYNAMICAL NEUROSCIENCE VIII:
                       Scales of Plasticity and Learning

                A Satellite Symposium of the 30th Annual Meeting
                                     of the
                            Society for Neuroscience

                       Ernest N. Morial Convention Center
                             New Orleans, Louisiana
                    Friday and Saturday, November 3-4, 2000

The dynamic processes involved in acquiring, storing and accessing new
information are now being mapped in animal and human studies
using a multitude of biochemical, electrophysiological and neuroimaging
techniques. Invited speakers will discuss the current state of
knowledge and present-day models about the dynamical aspects memory
formation, on scales from molecules to neurons to systems to
organisms, and milliseconds to years. The symposium will ad-dress
questions including: What hard evidence links molecular/cellular
events (e.g., LTP) to learning in the intact animal? How are millisecond
events encoded into permanent memory? What further efforts
would be required to demonstrate the biological underpinnings of
learning?

Organizers: D.L. Glanzman, NIMH, NIH, J.A. Scott Kelso, Florida Atlantic
University, and Thomas J. Carew, University of California
at Irvine.

Invited Speakers: Andrew Barto, Allison Doupe, Richard Frakowiak, Ann
Graybiel, Michael Hasselmo, Eric Knudsen, Kelsey Martin,
Michael Mauk, Lori McMahon and Jennifer Raymond. Keynote speaker:
Patricia Kuhl.
