Animals in Research Panel ✍ 

Conferring Legal Rights to Animals: 


Monday, Nov. 15, 9 – 11 a.m. 


Organizer: Sharon Juliano, PhD 

Speakers: Roberto Caminiti, MD; Michael Conn, PhD; 

Richard Cupp, JD 

Contact: Laura Martin, lmartin@sfn.org 

With more than 100 law schools now offering 

at least one animal law course, the field 

has expanded dramatically in the past decade. 

With this growth comes an increased focus 

on seeking to grant animals the same rights 

as humans, or personhood, which would 

have significant ramifications for all research. 

How is this growing legal strategy already 

impacting animal research? What does its 

continued expansion mean for neuroscience, 

other research, and even the family pet? 

How should the science community engage 

to address this trend? The panel will address 

these questions. Breakfast will be served. 

Teaching Neuroscience: Undergraduate 

Curricula and Graduate Expectations � 

Monday, Nov. 15, 9 a.m. – noon 


Organizer: Richard Olivo, PhD 

Contact: Liz Larabell, llarabell@sfn.org 

This year’s teaching workshop focuses on the 

undergraduate neuroscience curriculum and 

its match (or mismatch) with the expectations 

of graduate admissions committees. 

We will survey representative undergraduate 

programs, see detailed examples of the curriculum 

for two college programs (one that 

evolved from a psychology track and one 

centered in biology), and hear the expectations 

of three graduate admissions committees 

that seek prior strength in cellular and 

molecular biology, cognitive and systems 

neuroscience, or quantitative and physical 

sciences. The workshop will conclude with 

a general discussion, followed by breakout 

groups for faculty teaching similar courses.

The Secret to Success: How to 

Convey a Professional Image � 

Monday, Nov. 15, 9 a.m. – noon 


Organizer: Yi E. Sun, PhD 


How to project a professional image has never 

been something we are trained for during 

our career development, but it is a critical 

determinant between getting a job or just getting 

interviews. If you have wondered about 

the secret to effectively presenting yourself 

and your brilliant science, and being highly 

influential when delivering your lectures in 

class or at scientific meetings, we are here 

to help! During this workshop, we will have 

four well-established, highly influential 

female scientists reveal their insight into the 

different aspects of professional image. 

From Trainee to Independent 

Investigator: Funding Your Transitions � 

Monday, Nov. 15, 2 – 5 p.m. 


Organizers: Andres Barria, PhD; Anne Etgen, PhD 


This workshop provides information on funding 

sources to assist early career scientists 

(predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral fellows, and 

junior faculty) in transitioning to independent 

investigator. The focus will be on two 

career transition points: (1) from predoctoral 

to postdoctoral training, and (2) from postdoctoral 

fellow to first independent faculty 

position. Representatives of federal agencies 

and private foundations that provide fellowships 

for postdoctoral fellows and early career 

scientists will describe a variety of programs, 

some restricted to U.S. citizens and permanent 

residents (e.g., NIH National Research Service 

Awards and most K awards; NSF Postdoctoral 

Research Fellowships and CAREER Awards) 

and others open to international trainees and 

investigators (e.g., the Fogarty International 

Center and American Heart Association). The 

presentations include information on strategies 

for selecting the most appropriate mechanism 

and preparing a competitive application. 

After the presentations and a question/answer 

period, representatives will be available to 

discuss specific programs and make appointments 

to meet with potential candidates. 

Becoming an Engaged Member:

SPECIAL LECTURE San Diego Convention Center 

310. Modern Genetic and Viral Tools for the Dissection of 

Neural Circuits CME 

• Indicated a real or perceived conflict of interest, see page 157 for details. 

� Indicates a high school or undergraduate student presenter. 

Complete Session Listing 

Mon. 8:30 AM - 9:40 AM — Ballroom 20 

Speaker: E. M. CALLAWAY, The Salk Inst. for Biol. Studies. 

To understand how neural circuits function, it is necessary to 

resolve connectivity with high resolution, correlate connectivity 

with function, and manipulate activity of defined circuit 

components. Advances in genetic and viral tools make this 

possible at the resolution of specific cell types and even single 

neurons. A discussion of methods for identifying connectivity 

and how they can be used to understand circuit function, will 

be followed by description of work in my lab, developing and 

using rabies virus-based systems for tracing neural circuits 

and linking them to function. 

SYMPOSIUM San Diego Convention Center

Brain CME 

Mon. 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM — Room 6B 

Chair: M. W. JAKOWEC 

Co-Chair: C. W. COTMAN 

The role of experience in modeling the brain has become 

a field of great scientific interest. This symposium will 

highlight recent developments in understanding the role of 

experience, in the form of exercise and the environment, in 

modifying synaptic structure and function and neurogenesis 

in neurodegenerative disorders (Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s 

diseases), models of injury (ischemia), and aging. The effect 

of experience on behavior, pathology and synaptic function 

will be discussed.

Branching CME 

Mon. 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM — Room 6E 

Chair: L. MA 

Co-Chair: S. COHEN-CORY 

Axon branching is a developmental process that allows 

one neuron to connect with multiple targets and is critical in 

generating complex neuronal circuits. The minisymposium will 

dedicate to recent studies using molecular, genetic, imaging 

and modeling approaches to understand this fundamental 

process. Speakers will highlight the latest advances in 

elucidating the molecular and cellular principles of branching 

regulation during development and plasticity of the nervous 

system.

314. • Towards the Second Generation of Optogenetic 

Tools CME 

Mon. 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM — Room 29D 

Chair: T. KNOPFEL 

Co-Chair: E. BOYDEN 

The optogenetic toolbox involves genetically encoded 

actuators and reporters, proteins that allow using light 

to control or to monitor molecular processes in neural 

systems. Optical methods enable fast and spatially well 

resolved experimental manipulations and measurements. 

A first generation of genetically-encoded calcium reporters, 

fluorescent proteins, and neural activators has already had 

great impact on neuroscience; a second generation of voltage 

reporters, neural silencers, and extended fluorescent proteins 

bears great promise to continue this revolution. Speakers 

will be particularly encouraged to highlight limitations of the 

presently available optogenic tools and discuss where the 

technologies are headed in the future.

Mon. 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM — Room 30E 

Chair: P. PENZES 

Co-Chair: D. A. LEWIS 

Speakers will discuss recent research and conceptual 

advances regarding the dysregulation of structural plasticity 

at spiny synapses in mental disorders. We will focus on 

schizophrenia and autism, where a role for abnormal synaptic 

plasticity and connectivity is well documented. Talks will 

explore cellular neuropathological alterations and their 

potential genetic and mechanistic underpinnings, which 

may involve the disruption of signaling by small GTPases, 

neuregulin, DISC1, kalirin-7, neuroligin, and Epac2. 


8:35 315.2 Transgenic expression of Neuregulin 1, type IV 

regulates synaptic maturation in vitro and impairs cortical

DAVID KOPf LECTURE ON NEUROEThICS San Diego 

Convention Center 

316. The Neuroscience Revolution and Society 

Mon. 10:00 AM - 11:10 AM — Ballroom 20 

Speaker: H. T. GREELY, Stanford Univ. 

Support contributed by David Kopf Instruments 

The onrushing revolution in neuroscience will change not 

just science and medicine, but all aspects of human society. 

This lecture will outline six different ways neuroscience 

will affect society, through findings that concern prediction, 

mindreading, responsibility, consciousness, treatment for 

disfavored behaviors, and cognitive enhancement. It will 

end by suggesting ways in which neuroscience might more 

deeply affect our understandings of our fellow humans - and 

of ourselves.

SPECIAL LECTURE San Diego Convention Center 

317. Learning and Memory Mechanisms in Songbirds and 

humans: Sleep on It! CME 

Mon. 11:30 AM - 12:40 PM — Ballroom 20 

Speaker: D. MARGOLIASH, Univ. Chicago. 

In humans and animals, sleep has a wide range of effects 

on memory formation. Birdsong learning, a model of 

vocal learning, demonstrates the role of sleep in sensory 

memorization and sensorimotor learning. Studying birdsong 

from the perspective of sleep is helping us to understand 

how vocal learning is integrated in the brain, and is informing 

our understanding of sleep and learning processes in other 

systems.

416. Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Memory Allocation 

in Neuronal Circuits CME 

Mon. 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM — Room 6F 

Chair: A. J. SILVA 

Co-Chair: S. A. JOSSELYN 

This symposium will review recent studies on the molecular 

and cellular mechanisms that determine how specific neurons 

and synapses within a circuit are recruited during learning 

(memory allocation). Using approaches that allow tagging, 

imaging, activation and inactivation of specific neurons in 

behaving animals, recent findings demonstrated that memory 

allocation is not random, but rather specific mechanisms 

regulate where information is stored within a neural circuit. 

Organized storage saves space, minimizes search times and 

reduces errors during retrieval.

Chair: M. O. FRASER 

This session will describe normal nociceptive processing 

from pelvic viscera to the spinal cord, brain stem and the 

brain and how changes along this pathway may result in 

functional pain syndromes. For most, integration of input and 

modulatory signals occurs within and between each level, 

resulting in awareness of injury until healed. In functional pain 

syndromes, anomalous interoceptive influences at one or 

more levels may cause chronic hyperalgesia even without a 

noxious stimulus.

to Behavioral Output CME 

Mon. 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM — Room 6E 

Chair: M. N. HILL 

Co-Chair: J. S. BAINS 

Endocannabinoid signaling is an important regulator of 

transmitter release and synaptic signaling. Recent research 

has demonstrated a potentially important role for this 

system in the regulation of physiological, neuroendocrine 

and behavioural response to stress. The current 

minisynposium provides an overview of the mechanisms by 

which endocannabinoid signaling integrates into both the 

hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the limbic structures 

subserving regulation of this neuroendocrine axis.

Thalamus and hypothalamus: from Neural Specification 

to Circuit formation CME 

Mon. 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM — Room 29D 

Chair: S. BLACKSHAW 

Co-Chair: T. SHIMOGORI 

The embryonic diencephalon gives rise to both the vertebrate 

thalamus and hypothalamus. Recent work has begun 

to shed light on the molecular pathways that guide the 

development of these structures. We will highlight advances 

in understanding control of early regional patterning, neuronal 

cell fate specification, and the formation and environmental 

modification of neural circuitry in both thalamus and 

hypothalamus.

Mon. 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM — Room 30E 

Chair: M. A. SILVER 

Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter to be discovered, 

and its biochemical and cognitive effects have been intensely 

studied for several decades. This minisymposium highlights 

recent anatomical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, 

behavioral, and brain imaging studies of the functions of 

acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex. The results of these 

studies shed light on the neural mechanisms underlying 

cholinergic modulation of attention, learning, and encoding of 

sensory stimuli.

421. Dendrites, from form to function CME 

Mon. 3:15 PM - 4:25 PM — Ballroom 20 

Speaker: L. JAN, Y.N. JAN, Univ. of California, San Francisco. 

Support contributed by The Grass Foundation 

Different types of neurons display dendrites with distinct 

branching patterns – a hallmark feature that enables neurons 

to receive and process information properly. This lecture 

will summarize what we have learned as to how dendrites 

form and organize among themselves, and how dendritic 

ion channels are regulated by synaptic activities and in turn 

modulate neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity. Implications 

to the etiology of neurological diseases and mental disorders 

will be discussed. 

PRESIDENTIAL SPECIAL LECTURE 


422. Learning to See Late in Life CME 

Mon. 5:15 PM - 6:25 PM — Ballroom 20 

Speaker: P. SINHA, Massachusetts Inst. of Technol. 

Support contributed by Pfizer, Inc. 

We open our eyes and see a world that makes sense, easily 

parsing the visual array into meaningful objects. To study 

this process, we have recently launched Project Prakash - a 

synergistic humanitarian and scientific initiative that helps 

provide sight to congenitally blind children, and characterizes 

their subsequent visual development. The effort has provided 

insights into the early stages of learning to see, while 

improving the lives of children who were otherwise doomed to 

a life of blindness.
