OVERVIEW

The Thirty-Sixth Annual Neurobiology of Learning and Memory Conference is organized by Robert Berman and Michael Ragozzino in conjunction with Paul Gold, Raymond Kesner, Sheri Mizumori, Aryeh Routtenberg, Os Steward, and Wendy Suzuki, and is supported in part by the Department of Psychology, University of Utah. The sessions are organized so that one-half of the time will be available for discussion. There will be time-keepers who will make certain that the formal presentations do not extend beyond the allotted time. Furthermore, we will strongly encourage a limit of 5-7 slides and suggest that the first slide summarizes the "take home message."

Material presented at this meeting should not be cited in bibliographies. It should be treated as personal communication and should be cited as such only with consent of the author. For Data Blitz session (only), please give the title, presenter, and ppt slide (no more than one slide) to Rob Berman [rfberman@ucdavis.edu] at least one week before the meeting begins. A projector for power point slides presentations will be available.

The conference is open to all by application [Registration Form].

The conference values free discussion between presenters and attendees. Christa McIntyre and Craig Stark are organizing the sessions so that one-half of the time will be available for discussion. They will be the time-keepers and make certain that the formal presentations do not extend beyond the allotted time. Furthermore, they will strongly encourage a limit of 5-7 slides; and suggest that the first slide summarizes the "take home message."

Participants who will be presenting in the 5 minute Data Blitz will need to email a copy of their one PowerPoint slide one week before the meeting to Elizabeth Buffalo [ebuffal@emory.edu]. Overhead and slide projectors will not be available.

Information presented at this meeting should not be cited in bibliographies. It should be treated as personal communication and should be cited as such only with consent of the author.

The organizers strive to make this an exciting conference featuring timely and provocative scientific sessions in the beautiful setting of a Utah ski resort.
