Presidential Special Lectures

The Mind of a Worm: Learning From the C. elegans Connectome CME Scott W. Emmons, PhD Albert Einstein College of Medicine Saturday, Nov. 9, 5:156:25 p.m.
The connectome of the roundworm C. elegans reveals the neural pathways that underlie its motivated and purposeful behavior. New connectomics data suggest the topology of a neural network contributes to integration of multiple sensory inputs in a decisionmaking process that guides a multistep behavioral pathway. Our thoughts, memories, and behavior are emergent collective properties of a vast network of neurons. Determining the wiring diagram of the nervous system of a tiny animal is a rst step toward learning how patterns of connectivity contribute to the rapid, robust, and economic function of the brain.

A Molecular Geneticists Approach to Understanding the Fly Brain CME Gerald M. Rubin, PhD Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Sunday, Nov. 10, 5:156:25 p.m.
To probe the workings of the nervous system, we will need to be able to assay and manipulate the function of individual neuronal cell types. The intellectual framework for such an approach has been apparent for many years, but the available tools have been inadequate for the job. This lecture addresses efforts to develop and apply an advanced set of tools that will be required for a comprehensive analysis of the anatomy and function of the y brain at the level of individual cell types and circuits.

Connectomics: What, How, and Why CME Jeff W. Lichtman, MD, PhD Harvard University Monday, Nov. 11, 5:156:25 p.m.
Connectional maps of the brain have value in modeling how the brain works and fails when subsets of neurons or synapses are missing or misconnected. Such maps also provide information about how brain circuits develop and age. Efforts to obtain complete wiring diagrams of peripheral motor and autonomic axons provide insight into the way mammalian nervous systems mold in response to experience. Automated electron microscopy used to collect tapes of brain sections then imaged at high resolution will be discussed. This imaging pipeline will make large-scale connectomic analysis of brain circuits more routine.

Understanding Cortical Hierarchies: The SixPiece Puzzle of Face Perception CME Doris Y. Tsao, PhD California Institute of Technology Tuesday, Nov. 12, 5:156:25 p.m.
How the brain distills a representation of meaningful objects from retinal input is one of the central challenges of systems neuroscience. Functional imaging experiments in the macaque reveal that one ecologically important class of objects, faces, is represented by a system of six discrete, strongly interconnected regions. Electrophysiological recordings show that these face patches have unique functional proles. By understanding the distinct visual representations maintained in these six face patches, the sequence of information ow between them, and the role each plays in face perception, we can gain new insights into hierarchical information processing in the brain.

PETER AND PATRICIA GRUBER LECTURE DAVID KOpF LECTURE ON NEUROETHICS

Understanding Circuit Dynamics: Variability, Modulation, and Homeostasis Eve E. Marder, PhD Brandeis University Support contributed by: The Gruber Foundation Sunday, Nov. 10, 2:303:40 p.m.
Circuit function arises from the interplay between the intrinsic properties of neurons and their synaptic connections. This lecture will present combined experimental and computational work suggesting that robust circuit performance can arise from highly variable circuit components. Animal-to-animal variability in circuit parameters raises interesting challenges for reliable neuromodulation and responses to environmental perturbation but allows important substrates for evolution. AlBERT AND EllEN GRASS LECTURE

Blaming the Brain: Behavioral Sciences in the Courtroom Nita Farahany, JD, PhD Duke University Support contributed by: David Kopf Instruments Monday, Nov. 11, 1011:10 a.m.
Recent scientic progress has dramatically advanced our understanding of biological, neurological, and environmental contributions to normal and deviant human behavior. This lecture will present the rst comprehensive empirical study on the use of biosciences in the United States and other legal systems. Focusing on criminal law and tort law, the lecture will cover the nature of claims being advanced, shifting attitudes toward scientic evidence in the legal system, and future implications for the relationship between law and neuroscience.

The Creative Culture

Ed Catmull, PhD President of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios Support contributed by: Elsevier Saturday, Nov. 9, 11 a.m.1 p.m.
Many think creativity is the result of singular genius. However, the reality of creativity is far more complex and interesting. The central issues include removing hidden barriers to creativity and candor. We pay special attention to protecting barely formed ideas; the dynamic balance between technology and art; the necessity of structured processes to get the job done; and the random, unpredictable nature of what we do. In particular, we need to give thoughtful attention to the culture itself, for out of this culture arises new technology, new ideas, and artistic expression.

The Neural Circuitry of Sex and Violence CME David J. Anderson, PhD California Institute of Technology Support contributed by: The Grass Foundation Monday, Nov. 11, 3:154:25 p.m.
The 2013 Albert and Ellen Grass lecture will be delivered by David Anderson, investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Seymour Benzer Professor of Biology at California Technological University. Anderson uses both mice and Drosophila melanogaster to study molecular genetic techniques. He maps and probes neural circuits that underlie innate behaviors associated with emotional states, including defensive behaviors and inter-male aggression. These innate behaviors and associated internal states form the evolutionary basis of emotional behavior in more complex organisms.

HISTORY OF NEUROSCIENCE LECTURE

Reward Circuitry in the Brain Roy A. Wise, PhD Intramural Research Program of the National Institute on Drug Abuse Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2:303:40 p.m.
The discovery that rats would work for brief electrical stimulation of the brain led to the notion of specialized brain circuitry for the stamping in of learning. Longer stimulation at the same brain sites induced drive states for feeding, predatory attack, and other motivated behaviors. Subsequent pharmacological and parametric studies implicated forebrain dopamine systems as the nal common path for these effects. These ndings formed the early basis for our current view and new optogenetic studies of the special role of dopamine in learning, motivation, and addiction.

Special Lectures
THEME A: DEVElOpMENT on developing dendrites, but along mature dendrites synapses enlarge with compensatory elimination of small spines and shrink during concurrent LTD. Presynaptic vesicles decrease with LTP at young and mature ages illustrating structural plasticity has differential effects across synaptic compartments. as Alzheimers disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Yet, the role of BBB in the pathogenesis of these disorders is still not fully appreciated. This lecture will discuss the BBB mechanisms causing neurodegeneration including astrocyte-pericyte-endothelial faulty signal transduction, effects of AD-associated genes on BBB integrity (APOE4, CLU, PICALM), and effects of capillary micro-bleeds. THEME D: SENSORY AND MOTOR SYSTEMS

Adjusting Brain Circuits for Learning and Memory CME Pico Caroni, PhD Friedrich Miescher Institute
Brain systems face ever-changing demands for learning and memory throughout life. For example, skill learning depends rst on dynamic acquisition of potentially relevant information, followed by faithful execution; memories need to be both retained and prioritized as a function of circumstances. This lecture will cover how system plasticity is adjusted exibly to specic behavioral demands, how its regulation in juveniles and adults involves related circuit mechanisms, and how the plasticity can be harnessed for cognitive enhancement.

 lioma: A Neurocentric Look at Cancer CME G Harald Sontheimer, PhD University of Alabama at Birmingham
Glioma research has traditionally been inspired by oncology, largely ignoring the tumors unique interactions with the brain. This lecture challenges us to take a more neurocentric viewpoint: many of the hallmarks of the disease, including vascular dysregulation, edema, gliosis, and progressive neuronal cell death by glutamate excitotoxicity, readily dene gliomas as a neurodegenerative disease. Research into how this cancer compromises normal brain physiology holds promise for a better understanding and ultimately more effective treatment of this devastating disorder. THEME C: DISORDERS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

 utting Sensory Back into Voluntary P Control CME Stephen H. Scott, PhD Queens University
Optimal feedback control can explain many features of biological movement, such as success with variability, motor synergies, and goal-directed behavior. This lecture will discuss the use of optimal control to interpret motor performance, highlighting the importance of sensory feedback in this process. The lecture also will describe how corrective responses to small visual or mechanical perturbations under a broad range of behavioral contexts provide an important window to probe voluntary control and its neural basis.

 lasticity in the Adult Brain: Neurogenesis P and Neuroepigenetics CME Hongjun Song, PhD Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Adult mammalian brains exhibit much more plasticity and regenerative capacity than previously thought, including generation of functionally integrated new neurons via adult neurogenesis. This lecture summarizes recent work on understanding basic properties of adult neural stem cells and molecular, cellular, and circuitry mechanisms regulating the sequential adult neurogenesis process in vivo. Neuroepigenetics, in particularly novel active DNA modications in the nervous system, also will be highlighted. THEME B: NEURAl EXCITABIlITY, SYNApSES, AND GlIA: CEllUlAR MECHANISMS

 eurocircuitry of Addiction: N A Stress Surfeit Disorder CME George F. Koob, PhD The Scripps Research Institute
A key component of the pathophysiology of addiction is negative reinforcement set up by negative emotional states hypothesized to derive from dysregulation of key neurochemical elements involved in the brain stress systems within the frontal cortex, ventral striatum, and extended amygdala. Compelling evidence exists to argue that the brain stress systems play a key role in engaging the transition to addiction and maintaining dependence once initiated.

Sensory Processing in Drosophila : Synapses, Circuits, and Computations CME Rachel I. Wilson, PhD Harvard Medical School
Many of the basic computations involved in sensory processing are shared across sensory modalities and species. Understanding sensory processing requires identifying these canonical computations, why they might be useful to the organism, and how they are implemented at the level of cells, synapses, and circuits. The lecture will discuss recent work investigating these problems in the y Drosophila melanogaster, using in vivo whole-cell recordings from genetically identied neurons.

Age-Dependent Responses of Synapse Structure to Hippocampal Plasticity CME Kristen M. Harris, PhD University of Texas
This special lecture will discuss the regulation of spines, synapses, and subcellular components (polyribosomes, SER, and endosomes) by plasticity during maturation. For example, long-term potentiation (LTP) and dendritic spines rst occur at P12 in rat hippocampus. LTP induces small spines 4

Blood-Brain Barrier and Neurodegeneration CME Berislav V. Zlokovic, MD, PhD University of Southern California

THEME E : INTEgRATIVE SYSTEMS: NEUROENDOCRINOlOgY, NEUROIMMUNOlOgY, AND HOMEOSTATIC CHAllENgE

Transgenerational Epigenetics: Programming Behavior in a Dynamic Landscape CME Tracy L. Bale, PhD University of Pennsylvania
The epigenome has become a highly investigated and important area of neuroscience in connecting the environment with changes in neurodevelopment and behaviors. The complexity of mechanisms at play stem from points of vulnerability, including key developmental windows, and the involvement of maternal or paternal germ cell lifetime exposures. This lecture will discuss the latest knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms and transgenerational outcomes associated with reprogramming of the brain and behaviors, thus promoting disease risk or resiliency. THEME F: COgNITION AND BEHAVIOR

When Good Neurons Go Bad: Dopamine Neuron Regulation and Its Disruption in Psychiatric Disorders CME Anthony A. Grace, PhD University of Pittsburgh
Midbrain dopamine neurons have been implicated in a broad variety of psychiatric disorders, ranging from schizophrenia to drug abuse and depression. These disorders appear to result not from pathology within the dopamine neurons themselves, but from a disruption in their normal regulation. This lecture will describe how limbic and cortical afferents regulate baseline tonic activity and phasic activation of dopamine neurons to salient stimuli, and how disruption of these inputs may lead to pathological states. THEME G : NOVEl METHODS AND TECHNOlOgY DEVElOpMENT

Physicians: Improve Competencies While Earning CME Credit

The Society for Neuroscience annual meeting is a forum for the education of physicians in the eld of neuroscience. By attending lectures, symposia, and minisymposia, the physician will receive both a broad overview of the eld and information about the most recent, detailed research on the topic of the session. The abstract of each plenary 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 SfN annual meeting is the premier venue for this educational opportunity. Physicians learn about the most up-to-date, cutting-edge discoveries regarding the brain and nervous system.

Free Energy and Active Inference CME Karl J. Friston, FRS University College London
This lecture provides an overview of theoretical approaches to functional brain architectures using the free energy formulation of active inference and predictive coding. Its focus is on basic concepts and how they can be used to understand functional anatomy and the intimate relationship between action and perception. The underlying ideas will be described heuristically and their application will be illustrated using simulations of perceptual synthesis, action observation, and visual searches.

How Synthetic and Chemical Biology Will Transform Neuroscience CME Bryan L. Roth, MD, PhD University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
One of the grand challenges for neuroscience research is to understand how biologically active small molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and drugs) exert their actions at successive levels ranging from the atomic to ensembles of neuronal networks. This lecture will demonstrate how recent advances in chemical and synthetic biology technology have catalyzed new insights into bioactive small molecule actions. This lecture will show how atomic-level discoveries have ultimately led to transformative insights at the level of neuronal systems.

Global Learning Objective

Given a patient with a neurological or psychiatric condition, physicians will integrate the most up-todate 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.

Accreditation
SfN is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

CME Registration
CME registration must be completed before or during the annual meeting. Those who do not register at these times will not receive the necessary documentation, and it cannot be provided after the meeting. CME registrants will receive, via email two weeks before the meeting, the CME Supplemental Program, which contains important information regarding the CME program, including disclosure information and instructions for obtaining CME credits.

This pseudocolor image of luciferin-luciferase chemiluminescence shows the release of ATP after stimulation of glial cells on the surface of the rat retina. ATP released from glial cells in the retina is metabolized to adenosine, which, in turn, activates neuronal A1 adenosine receptors and inhibits retinal neurons. The image was taken 12 sec after glial cells were stimulated and shows a region of the retinal surface 480 m wide. Courtesy, with permission: Eric A. Newman, 2003, The Journal of Neuroscience 23: 1659-1666 Page 4: An example of a two-dimensional crosscorrelogram. This matrix shows the variation in time of the strength of correlated activity of two neurons. The diagonal of the matrix represents the correlation strength at zero time lag. The points above and below this diagonal represent positive and negative time delays between the two neurons. Neurons in the primary visual cortex start to synchronize their activity (red part of the diagonal) before the onset of the stimulus in a gure-ground detection task. Such a switch in the internal state of the primary visual cortex is necessary for the detection of the stimulus.

Highlighted is the circuitry onto a single ganglion cell, where convergence, amplication, and saturation inuence gain controls are located within the retinal network. Depicted in the details is the rod bipolar pathway specied for carrying rod signals in the mammalian retina: rodrod bipolarAII amacrinecone bipolarganglion cell. We studied this pathway to nd that a key site of gain control at the lowest mean light levels is at the rod bipolar-to-AII amacrine synapse, and at brighter light levels gain controls at earlier sites take over.
