Workshops on Neurobiology

Since its inception, sixteen workshops have been held, usually on the day prior to the start of the Society for Neuroscience Meeting. Topics have included: Stroke, AIDS in the nervous system, Epilepsy, Huntington's and Parkinson's disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Prion diseases, Drug Addiction, Pain and Affective Disorders, Stroke and Excitotoxicity, Neuromuscular diseases, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Schizophrenia, Migraine, Mental Retardation and developmental disorders. Enrollment generally runs between 100 and 200 attendees. Most enrollees are graduate students or postdoctoral fellows. Current plans are to cover the following topics in the near future: Tourette's Syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the neurobiology of brain tumors, AIDS Dementia, Peripheral Neuropathy, Pain, Language Disorders, and Affective Disorders. Other topics will be chosen depending on their potential interest to young neuroscientists, their impact on society, and the quality of recent research related to that disease area
