Wednesday, October 6, 2010 | 8:30 AM - 7:00 PM | Recently uncovered genetics defects predispose to Parkinson’s disease and new animal models better mimic human disease. This upcoming conference will examine recent advances in the understanding and treatment of this neurodegenerative disorder. More
Estrogens play a role in memory processes, yet molecular mechanisms and the role of estrogen receptors remain unclear. This meeting discussed estrogen signaling for memory formation and advances in dissecting out the pathways underlying these effects. More
This Annals issue brings together some of the very best minds in the field to review the latest ideas in the field of addiction. More

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 | 8:30 AM - 7:00 PM
Chair: Franz Hefti, PhD (Avid Radiopharmaceuticals)
This conference will highlight novel and innovative therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s Disease, biomarkers for early detection and assessment of disease progression, and emerging strategies to alleviate symptoms and/or to slow disease progression.
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 | 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Speakers: Katerina Akassoglou (Gladstone Institute & UCSF), Andrew Miller (Emory University School of Medicine), Malú Tansey (Emory University School of Medicine), Shi Du Yan (Columbia University) and Raz Yirmiya (Hebrew University)
Breakthroughs spanning neuroscience and immunology are rare, as they do not share a common language or purpose. This symposium highlights recent discoveries in clinical depression, the stress response, Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis.
October 29 - 30, 2010
Organizers: Barry Lester (Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University), Edward Tronick (University Massachusetts Boston and Children's Hospital Boston), and Eric Nestler (Mount Sinai School of Medicine)
This 2-day CME- and CE-accredited conference will focus on the quest to understand how environmental factors affect behavioral outcomes (learning, memory, mental illness, normal development and developmental psychopathology) via epigenetic modulation.
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Speakers: Nicholas Carr, Nicholas Toth (The Stone Age Institute)
Humans have long modified our world through tools and technology. But how do the tools modify us? Join Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains. With an introduction by Stone Age anthropologist, Nicholas Toth.
Friday, March 25, 2011 | 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Goodwin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Joseph LeDoux (New York University), Aniruddh Patel (The Neurosciences Institute), Paula Tallal (Rutgers University), Concetta Tomaino (Beth Abraham Family of Health Services) and Mark Jude Tramo (Harvard Medical School)
This conference will foster dialogue between clinical music and research on physiological function (neurocognitive mechanisms, hormonal and metabolic responses, pain control, motor functions), and address therapeutic areas where music and physiology can synergize.
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 | 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Speakers: Enikö Kramár (University of California, Irvine), Feng Liu (Pfizer), Bruce McEwen (Rockefeller University), and John Morrison (Mount Sinai School of Medicine)
Estrogens play a role in memory processes, yet molecular mechanisms and the role of estrogen receptors remain unclear. This meeting discusses estrogen signaling for memory formation and advances in dissecting out the pathways underlying these effects.
