## Abstract

ABSTRACT/Project Summary
Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal Connectivity
September 10-14, 2024
The proposed meeting to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on “Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal
Connectivity” in September 2024 will assemble leaders in the field, junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and
graduate students to discuss new, cutting-edge developments in the areas defined in the meeting title. This
proposal seeks support for the fourteenth of a biennial series of meetings held at Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory that has emerged as the premiere meeting in the world for this field. Topics to be discussed for the
2024 meeting will include: programs of circuit wiring, axon targeting, axon regeneration, synapse assembly,
synapses in neural circuits, and glial control of neuronal circuitry and neuronal repair. The planned sessions
and invited session chairs will emphasize new technologies and adverse experimental approaches.
Approaches include cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, structural biology, computational biology and
electrophysiology. Importantly, the meeting brings together research from multiple systems, including various
vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms and human stem cells for investigating neural connectivity and
function. Given the diverse approaches currently employed in this field, communication among international
researchers is essential to advance research and understanding of fundamental mechanisms that regulate
wiring of the nervous system and how these mechanisms may relate to the causes and potential cures for
neurological disease. Oral presentations will be selected by the session chairs in consultation with the
organizers. Each session will be chaired by two leading scientists in the field and the session chairs will give
presentations on their cutting-edge research. Selected speakers primarily include graduate students,
postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty. Three special lectures will be presented to provide essential
background critical to stimulating discussion between scientists working on related but distinct areas. There
will also be two poster sessions where a majority of participants can present their work. The meeting will be of
moderate size, and we expect 250-350 neuroscientists in attendance.
