Featured Lectures
all featured lectures will be held at the Walter e. Washington convention center: Hall D
Dialogues Between Neuroscience and Society
Animal Spirits: How Human Behavior Drives the Economy Robert Shiller, PhD Yale University Support contributed by: Elsevier Saturday, Nov. 12, 11 a.m. 1 p.m. Robert J. Shiller, PhD, is an American economist, academic, and best-selling author. He currently serves as the Arthur M. Okun Professor of Economics at Yale University and is a Fellow at the Yale International Center for Finance, Yale School of Management. Ranked among the 100 most influential economists of the world, Shillers work has addressed how psychological factors influence decision-making in the economic arena and the impact of group dynamics on financial markets. Join Shiller and leading neuroscientists for an exciting opportunity to examine the interplay between economics and the brain.

Neurotrophins: From Axon Growth to Synaptic Plasticity CME Mu-Ming Poo, PhD University of California, Berkeley and Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences Support contributed by: Lundbeck Research USA Saturday, Nov. 12, 5:15 6:25 p.m. Neurotrophins were first identified as target-derived factors that promote neuronal differentiation and survival. Over the past decades, they also were found to regulate neuronal differentiation, axonal and dendritic growth, synapse formation and plasticity, as well as cognition and behavior. This lecture provides a retrospective view of the evolving concepts in the study of neurotrophins, with highlights of recent findings on the role of neurotrophins in axon development and synaptic plasticity.

The Basal Ganglia: Binding Values to Action CME Ann M. Graybiel, PhD Massachusetts Institute of Technology Support contributed by: Johnson & Johnson Sunday, Nov. 13, 5:15 6:25 p.m. We usually think of cortical circuits as controlling what we do, but our behavior also is influenced by deep brain structures including the basal ganglia. This lecture summarizes evidence that neural activity in cortico-basal ganglia circuits can exhibit high levels of flexibility related to value-based decision-making and adaptive behavior, but also can become overly fixed despite the need for change. This interplay between flexibility and fixity, if imbalanced, may underlie dysfunctions leading to motor and neuropsychiatric problems in basal ganglia-based disorders.
Peter and Patricia Gruber Lecture

Rett Syndrome: Linking Epigenetics and Neuronal Plasticity Huda Y. Zoghbi, MD Baylor College of Medicine Support contributed by: The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation Sunday, Nov. 13, 2:30 3:40 p.m. Rett syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a range of severe neurological and behavioral disabilities. It is caused by mutations in MECP2 that encodes Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which modulates the expression levels of other genes through chromatin remodeling. Mutations in MECP2 also cause a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders ranging from mild learning deficits and autism to early-onset schizophrenia. Recent discoveries show MeCP2 is critical for neurons to function normally. The lecture discusses how genetic, molecular, and electrophysiological studies are demonstrating the critical role of MeCP2 in postnatal brain function and synaptic plasticity, and providing insight into the pathogenesis of Rett syndrome and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
David Kopf Lecture on Neuroethics

A Neanderthal Perspective on Human Origins Svante Pbo, PhD Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Support contributed by: David Kopf Instruments Monday, Nov. 14, 10 11:10 a.m. Recently produced draft sequences of two extinct human forms, Neanderthals and Denisovans, help identify novel genomic features that appeared recently in present-day humans, as well as genomic regions likely to have been affected by positive selection in modern humans since their divergence from a common ancestor shared with Neanderthals and Denisovans. The lecture shares analysis of some such candidates, as well as work that focuses on the evolution of FOXP2 in humans, a gene involved in the development of speech and language.
Albert and Ellen Grass Lecture

Optimal Integration of Sensory Evidence: A Bayesian Journey Through Our Sixth Sense CME Dora Angelaki, PhD Baylor College of Medicine Support contributed by: The Grass Foundation Monday, Nov. 14, 3:15 4:25 p.m. As we navigate through the world and interact with our environment, salient computations ensure spatial orientation is maintained effortlessly, largely because of our sixth sense, the vestibular system. Neural circuits use an internal model of universal physical laws and multisensory integration to resolve ambiguities inherent in our sensors. Further, cortical multisensory integration with visual motion cues ensures improved precision of spatial perception. Both properties are predicted by Bayesian integration in a framework that our brain performs optimal statistical inference.
History of Neuroscience Lecture

Neurodegenerative Diseases: The Path to Therapy Anne B. Young, MD, PhD Massachusetts General Hospital Support contributed by: AstraZeneca Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2:30 3:40 p.m. Forty years ago, neurodegenerative diseases were thought to be rare illnesses. Now as the population ages, they have become a major health issue. For years work focused on the detailed pathology of the disorders, but more recently the genetic era has allowed researchers to define some of these illnesses genetically. Targets for therapy have evolved to where preventative therapies are now in clinical trials. These illnesses have emerged from obscurity to everyday conversation. Now, we just have to cure them.

Genes, the Environment, and Decisions: How Fixed Circuits Generate Flexible Behaviors CME Cornelia I. Bargmann, PhD Rockefeller University Support contributed by: MedImmune Monday, Nov. 14, 5:15 6:25 p.m. How do genes and the environment interact to generate f lexible behaviors? How are behavioral decisions modified by context and experience? Genetic variation, internal states, and environmental conditions converge on common neuronal circuits to regulate behaviors in the nematode worm C. elegans. Analysis of these circuits shows the detailed wiring diagram of C. elegans is both incomplete and ambiguous, because modulatory inputs invisible in the anatomical wiring change the f low of information.

The Epigenetic Basis of Common Human Disease CME Andrew P. Feinberg, MD, MPH Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Support contributed by: Pfizer Inc. Tuesday, Nov. 15, 5:15 6:25 p.m. Epigenetics is the study of heritable information other than the sequence of DNA. We are taking an integrated approach to catalyze the generalization of gene-specific to genomic epigenetics and to advance the focus from cancer to common disease. Doing this requires an integration of new conceptual, technological, epidemiological, and statistical approaches. Epigenetic variation influenced by genetic variants could help mediate complex traits. We have identified sites of stochastic epigenetic variation in the genome that are stably linked to traits such as body mass index.

Special Lectures
all special lectures will be held at the Walter e. Washington convention center: Hall D
Theme A: Development
Measured Motion: The Neurons and Networks of Spinal Motor Control CME Thomas Jessell, PhD Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Kavli Institute for Brain Science, Columbia University Sunday, Nov. 13, 11:30 a.m. 12:40 p.m. Without movement, behaviors are planned but never realized. This simple truth has long motivated studies to define the nub and nuance of motor circuitry and reveal its links with muscle biomechanics. This lecture presents recent insights into the assembly and organization of motor circuits in the spinal cord, attempting to clarify how and why the constancy of neuronal position contributes to the precision of synaptic wiring that directs coordinated limb movement. From Single Cells to Neural Lineages Through the Ages CME Sally Temple, PhD New York Neural Stem Cell Institute Tuesday, Nov. 15, 11:30 a.m. 12:40 p.m. The mammalian central nervous system is characterized by extraordinary individual cell heterogeneity, a richness that is central to form and function. Studies at the single cell level have revealed that much of this diversity is encoded within progenitor cells and played out over time through programs that affect cell division mode and final cell fate. The resulting progenitor cell lineage trees are the story of these decisions, and reading them will help understand further both brain building and its decline in aging. many located hundreds of microns away from the cell body, which can process independent streams of information. During synaptic transmission and plasticity, remodeling of the local proteome occurs via the regulated synthesis and degradation of new proteins. This lecture highlights previous and current studies aimed at understanding how local protein synthesis and degradation contribute to synaptic function and plasticity. The Development of Functional Circuits in the Retina CME Marla Feller, PhD Unviersity of California, Berkeley Wednesday, Nov. 16, 10 11:10 a.m. In the two-weeks between birth and eyeopening, the mouse retina undergoes a remarkable transformation from intrinsically generated retinal waves to visually evoked responses. Direction selective responses are detected at the age of the earliest visual responses, indicating the precise retinal circuitry mediating direction selectivity is wired-up prior to normal visual experience. The lecturer will present recent studies from her lab that explore the changing retinal circuits that mediate both spontaneous and early light evoked activity. The Pluses and Minuses of Optimal Action Selection CME Howard L. Fields, MD, PhD University of California, San Francisco Tuesday, Nov. 15, 1 2:10 p.m. Animals are flexible in their responses to changes in their external environment. The multiplicity of their possible actions raises the problem of optimal selection. Animals learn to optimize their action choices using outcome information: reinforcement when benefits outweigh costs and extinction when they dont. The ventral striatum and its inputs from amygdala, cortex, and midbrain dopaminergic neurons is critically involved in the process of optimizing behavior through promoting actions that are reinforced and inhibiting those that are not. The Neurobiology of Mood: The Search Continues CME Huda Akil, PhD University of Michigan Wednesday, Nov. 16, 1 2:10 p.m. Mood is an ephemeral concept. Yet disruptions of mood, such as major depression and bipolar disorder, are highly prevalent and devastating lifelong disorders that remain difficult to understand scientifically or treat medically. This lecture describes a multidisciplinary approach using animal models, human postmortem brains, genetics, and genomics, which is leading to new insights into the neurobiology of mood, and is identifying new molecules as potential biomarkers and treatment targets.
Theme C: Disorders of the Nervous System

Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Pattern Separation: Impact on Cognition and Mood CME Rene Hen, PhD Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Tuesday, Nov. 15, 8:30 9:40 a.m. In the mammalian adult brain, there are two regions where stem cells continuously give rise to new neurons, a process termed neurogenesis: the subventricular zone and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus. Researchers have shown that a stimulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis is sufficient to improve pattern separation suggesting strategies designed to specifically increase neurogenesis may have therapeutic potential for reversing impairments in pattern separation such as those seen during aging or in anxiety disorders.
Theme D: Sensory and Motor Systems

Gating Pain: From Normal to Pathological Transmission in the Spinal Cord CME Yves De Koninck, PhD Laval University, Canada Sunday, Nov. 13, 8:30 9:40 a.m. While the ability to perceive pain is necessary for normal life, persistent pathological pain can be highly debilitating and have devastating impacts on our lives. Chronic pain depends in a large part on how sensory signals are integrated at the level of the spinal cord and relayed to the brain.
Theme B: Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia: Cellular Mechanisms

Protein Synthesis and Degradation at Synapses CME Erin M. Schuman, PhD Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Germany Monday, Nov. 14, 11:30 a.m. 12:40 p.m. An individual neuron in the brain possesses approximately 10,000 synapses,
11
The lecture highlights recent advances in understanding the functional organization of the spinal dorsal horn and how cross-talk between sensory pathways following injury and associated neuroimmune interactions may explain pathological pain. Building Cortical Representations With Experience: Insights From Visual Cortex CME David Fitzpatrick, PhD Max Planck Florida Institute Wednesday, Nov. 16, 11:30 a.m. 12:40 p.m. Early in postnatal development, as visual experience begins to influence neural activity, visual cortex lacks the full complement of connections and the response selectivity that defines functional maturity. Recent studies emphasize that visually driven activity at this early stage is important for the construction of cortical circuits, especially those representing stimulus motion. Analysis of the emergence of circuit function with in vivo 2-photon imaging is yielding new insights into the instructive role of early experience in the formation of cortical representations.
function, highlighting recently discovered mechanisms of rapid estrogen action in the hippocampus and other brain regions. Neural Mechanisms Linking Energy Balance With Behavior: Molecular Dissection of Leptin Action CME Martin Myers, MD, PhD University of Michigan Wednesday, Nov. 16, 8:30 9:40 a.m. Alterations in energy balance, as with food restriction, modulate a host of brain processes and behaviors ranging from hunger to anxiety and drug taking. The CNS action of leptin, a hormone derived from fat cells as a signal of the status of energy stores, contributes to many of these effects. This lecture focuses on the molecular dissection of several hypothalamic and extra-hypothalamic pathways by which leptin mediates these actions.
Defining the Neuronal Circuitry of Fear CME Andreas Luthi, PhD Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Switzerland Sunday, Nov. 13, 10 11:10 a.m. Classical fear conditioning is one of the most powerful models for studying the neuronal substrates of associative learning and investigating how plasticity in defined neuronal circuits causes behavioral changes. This lecture reviews emerging concepts in the organization and function of the neuronal circuitry of fear. Functionally, anatomically, and genetically defined types of amygdala neurons are precisely connected within the local circuitry and within larger-scale neuronal networks, and contribute to specific aspects of fear learning and extinction.
Theme G: Novel Methods and Technology Development

Methods in Large-Scale Reconstruction of Neural Circuits Friday, Nov. 11, 8 a.m. 6 p.m. Walter E. Washington Convention Center: Ballroom B Organizer: R. Clay Reid, MD, PhD Contact: Erum Khan, ekhan@sfn.org Partial support contributed by: Bristol-Myers Squibb In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the use of serial-section electron microscopy (EM) in studying neural circuits. While the technique of collecting and imaging serial thin sections has been used for 50 years, this recent growth has been fueled primarily by the ability to store and process the extraordinarily large data sets required to study extended circuits with nanometer-scale resolution. This day-long course consists of a series of lectures by the faculty covering the technical aspects of large-scale EM, along with the difficult task of analyzing the data, followed by informal breakout sessions examining the experimental and computational challenges the field will face in the coming years, and includes a syllabus book.

Session 1 (8 9:15 a.m.) Elizabeth Fisher, PhD Working with Mice to Understand the Neurobiology of Human Down Syndrome Down syndrome, like other aneuploidies, arises from aberrant chromosome number. Individual aspects of the syndrome are due to aberrant gene dosage of genes that are otherwise normal. How do we find out which genes underlie which aspects of the syndrome, out of the hundreds present in the wrong copy number? The hard work of many labs is now leading to potential treatments by using animal models to tackle the neurobiological and other components of Down syndrome. Wenbiao Gan, PhD In vivo Imaging of Synaptic Plasticity and Pathology Imaging neurons, glia, and vasculature in the living brain has become an important experimental tool for understanding how the brain works. This session highlights the approaches for imaging cortical structures at high optical resolution in living mice using two-photon laser scanning microscopy, as well as recent studies on structural and functional changes of cells under normal and pathological conditions in the living brain. Michael Hastings, PhD The Importance of Timing: Circadian Regulation of Neural Function You can read this because your brains circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), has signaled to every cell in your brain that this is the awake phase of your life. Later today, most aspects of gene expression, neural metabolism, and cognitive competence will be different, as the SCN timing cues propel brain and body to sleep. What about this is not fascinating? Circadian time is the starting point to determine what and when the brain can and cannot do: genes, real-time cellular imaging, genomics, and the most profound phenotypic changes, all over breakfast. David Holtzman, MD Endogenous Neuronal Activity, AmyloidBeta, and Alzheimers Disease Support contributed by: Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University It has become clear that a network of the human brain that appears to be the most metabolically and synaptic
activity, called the default mode network, is the most vulnerable region to develop amyloid deposition. Recent work has shown that neuronal activity directly regulates the level of amyloid beta in vivo and that by altering neuronal activity, the onset and amount of amyloid deposition can be changed. The goal of the session is to further think about these findings and their implications in the context of the pathophysiology and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Andreas Luthi, PhD Learning and Memory in Neuronal Networks of Fear We use an interdisciplinary approach to address the question of how neuronal circuit function relates to behavior. This session summarizes work aimed at dissecting mouse amygdala circuitry using a combination of physiological, optical, and molecular/genetic approaches, and discusses findings in the context of the acquisition and extinction of conditioned fear responses. Session 2 (9:30 10:45 a.m.) Eliot Gardner, PhD Brain-Stimulation Reward: Past, Present, and Future That electrical stimulation of specific brain loci is intensely rewarding was discovered (accidently) in 1953. Subsequent work elucidated the anatomy of brain-stimulation reward (BSR) and showed that dopamine is the crucial neurotransmitter. Addictive drugs activate this circuitry, making the BSR paradigm exceptionally useful for studying brain mechanisms of addiction and in searching for anti-addiction medications. This session addresses how a serendipitous accidental discovery can blossom into more than a half-century of dramatically exciting research in neuroscience. Marnie Halpern, PhD Exploring Neural Function Using Transgenic Zebrafish In recent years, the zebrafish has emerged as a powerful genetic model to explore development of the nervous system through mutant analyses. Adoption of the Tol2 transposition system has now made it possible to create new transgenic tools to identify specific brain regions and neuronal subtypes, and to manipulate gene expression for
functional studies. This session highlights some of the current approaches and how they are being used to study behavior. Kimberly Huber, PhD Studying Protein Translation-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity and Fragile X Syndrome Mutations in genes encoding synaptic proteins are linked with cognitive disorders and autism, suggesting that altered synaptic function underlies these diseases. We discovered and characterized a novel form of long-term synaptic depression triggered by metabotropic glutamate receptor activation of dendritic protein synthesis. Importantly, mGluR-LTD is abnormal in the fragile X syndrome mouse model of mental retardation and autism, which is caused by deletion of the RNA-binding protein FMRP. This work has led to a greater understanding of dendritic translational control as well as therapies for fragile X syndrome. Earl Miller, PhD Using Multiple Electrodes to Understand Functioning Neural Networks Much of our current views of brain function centers on interactions within and between networks of neurons, brain areas, and systems, but most of the work in systems neuroscience traditionally has focused on the brains parts studied individually. Recent years, however, have seen the advent, rise, and application of multiple-electrode technology. This allows the study of the activity of many neurons simultaneously, which in turn has provided insight into the functional neural circuitry underlying thought and action. Peter Stern, MD, PhD The Manuscript Selection Process at Science For many scientists, the review process at Science feels like a black box. Someone submits a manuscript and about two weeks later receives either a rejection letter or a pre-edited version with referee comments attached. People unfamiliar with the system cant imagine how much has happened behind the scenes in this time and how much energy was devoted to ensure the decision was fair and unbiased. In this session, the review process will become more transparent and guidelines of what might be considered an appropriate Science manuscript with a good chance of acceptance will be shared.

For the next steps in your career after your first academic appointment, you will need to negotiate beyond lab and office space, start-up funding, teaching commitments, and faculty mentoring programs. To ensure your next appointment will be a success, you should be thinking of professional development opportunities you can take advantage of in your current appointment; how to move an established lab with grants, graduate students, postdoctorals, and staff; how to buyout your lab equipment; how to negotiate promotions contingent with your move (e.g., gaining tenure or promotion to full professor); and sometimes how to negotiate additional or supplanting administrative duties (e.g., director, chair, dean) and if so, whether and how to downsize your research effort. Dual career issues become increasingly complex with advancing career stages of partners as well. This workshop addresses these issues and more through the experiences and wisdom of panelists who have successfully negotiated spectacular next step and senior positions. Hear from panelists, ask questions, and employ their expertise in helping plan your next move up the ladder in research/academia.
Then this is the workshop for you. Program and Review staff from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), one of the NIHs 27 Institutes and Centers, is hosting this informational workshop as an opportunity for early career investigators to learn about NIH and the grants process. Attendance at this workshop should give you insight as to the most appropriate funding opportunity for your career stage, and how to apply for it.

Continuing Medical Education

The Society for Neuroscience annual meeting is a forum for the education of physicians in the field of neuroscience. By attending lectures, symposia, and minisymposia, the physician will receive both a broad overview of the field and information about the most recent, detailed research in the topic of the session. The abstract of each plenary or specific session contains brief descriptions of the material to be presented. By attending any of the activities, the physician will better understand the basic science that underlies clinical practice.
Statement of Need
It is important that physicians comprehend the basic science that underlies clinical medicine. The Society for Neuroscience annual meeting is the premier venue for this educational opportunity. Physicians learn about the most up-to-date, cutting-edge discoveries regarding the nervous system.
Global Learning Objective

Given a patient with a neurological or psychiatric condition, physicians will integrate the most up-to-date information and research on the mechanism, treatment, and diagnosis of conditions related to neurological and psychiatric disorders into their diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of practice in order to determine the best course of action in treating the patient.

Speaker Resources
Nanosymposia, minisymposia, symposia, and lecture presenters are encouraged to check their media at least 24 hours in advance of presentation in the main Speaker Ready Room, located in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Room 155, to confirm compatibility with the session room computers. Presenters using their own laptops MUST have a VGA 15 pin HD female video output cable. If the cable is not with the laptop computer being used, there is no way to connect it to the session room data/video projector. NOTE: Many laptop computers use a special interface cable (e.g., DVI to VGA) to attach video out to the session room data/video projector. Presenters also must have a copy of all external files, such as movie or sound files (e.g., .wav, .avi, .mpeg, etc.), contained within their PowerPoint presentations.
Recommended Presentation Storage Media

Presenters are urged to bring their presentation on a USB flash drive or CD-ROM to avoid setup delays between presentations. Macintosh users should note that Macs can write a PC-formatted readable USB flash drive and CD-ROM. Presenters should arrive in their session room at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session to download their presentations onto the in-room computer hard drive.
Tips for Presenters Using a Personal Laptop Computer

Presenters using their own laptop computers must be set up prior to the session start time to avoid setup time that will decrease their allotted presentation time. Presenters should be certain to have the most recent version/update of drivers installed. NOTE: The laptop output resolution should be no more than XGA (1024 x 768). The native resolution on the data projectors are 1024 x 768 so higher resolutions will force the data projectors into a compression mode possibly losing some information or not projecting.
Available Audiovisual Equipment for Nanosymposia, Minisymposia, Symposia, and Lectures

Although presenters are welcome to use a personal laptop for their presentation (see Tips for Presenter Using a Personal Laptop Computer), the following audiovisual equipment will be set up in all session rooms:

Walter E. Washington Convention Center: 155 Hours: Friday, Nov. 11 Wednesday, Nov. 16 7 a.m. 5 p.m. A limited number of computers with open USB ports for PC-formatted USB flash drives and CD-ROM drives will be available in the Speaker Ready Room. Speakers are urged to check their media at least 24 hours prior to their presentation. As a courtesy to your fellow speakers, limit your viewing time to 10 minutes during non-peak times or 5 minutes during peak times.
One data/video projector One PC computer with a CD-ROM player and an open USB port for flash drives One screen (mutiple screens for lectures) Audio system with microphones One laser pointer Projectionists to assist with audiovisual equipment set-up and operation
Poster Sessions
Projection equipment will not be available in the poster area. No audiovisual orders will be accepted on-site.
Presentation Software for Nanosymposia, Minisymposia, Symposia, and Lectures

The only available presentation software in each session room will be PowerPoint 2010 or Adobe Acrobat Reader 10 (PDF file-based). Presenters using other software (e.g., MacKeynote or PC-Corel Draw 12) should save their presentation in PowerPoint 2010 or Adobe Acrobat Reader 10. When saving a presentation into the recommended formats, remember to include the extension .ppt or .pdf, otherwise the session room computers will not recognize the file format.

Final Program Cover: Rotary shadow electron microscopical image of a cultured wild-type hippocampal neuron. The plasma membrane was removed, allowing detailed views of the underlying cytoskeleton. Comparing cytoskeletal dynamics between wild-type neurons and neurons lacking the transcriptional regulator serum response factor reveals severe morphological alterations of neurite and growth cone architecture.
