ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE JANUARY 15th midnight

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENT TRAVEL IS NOW AVAILABLE

January 15th is the abstract submission deadline for the the first annual
meeting for realistic biological modeling in San Antonio Texas, March 31st
- April 2nd, 2005.  (Wam-Bamm*05).

The meeting is specifically focused on realistic biological modeling,
rather than more abstract approaches to neural computation, with an
emphasis both on scientific results and technical issues.  Although it is
being held in association with the second GENESIS Users Meeting (GUM*05)
all computational biologists, not only those using GENESIS, are invited to
present scientific as well as technical work.  Only an abstract is required
for meeting presentation.  In particular we would encourage modelers using
NEURON to attend and meet Michael Hines, developer of the NEURON modeling
system.

The first day of the meeting will be devoted to Tutorials including:

Introduction to realistic neural modeling:  Dr. Dave Beeman, University of
Colorardo

The NEURON simulator - recent developments:  Dr. Michael Hines,
Yale University

>From experiment to simulation - a case study: Dr. Dieter Jaeger,
Emory University

Controlling complex synaptic input patterns:  Jeremy Edgerton,
Emory University

Modeling calcium and biochemical reactions: Dr. Avrama Blackwell,
George Mason  University

Constructing large networks in GENESIS:  Dr. Michael Vanier, Caltech.

Parameter searching in GENESIS:  Dr. Michael Vanier, Caltech

Parallel (P-) GENESIS: Greg Hood, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center

XML for model specification:  Dr. Sharon Crook, Arizona State University

Building 3D network models with neuroConstruct: Padraig Gleeson,
University College London


The next two days will be devoted to invited speakers as well as 
contributed presentations primarily in poster form.

Confirmed Invited Speakers include:

Dr. Michael Hauser, University College London, "Model-based studies 
of cerebellar cortical circuitry"

Dr. Michael Hasselmo, Boston University, "Modeling the role of entorhinal
cortex, prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in memory guided behavior"

Dr. Charlie Wilson, University of Texas, San Antonio, "A model of
autonomous irregular firing and bursting in striatal cholinergic
interneurons"

Dr. Larry Parsons, University of Sheifield, "what can realistic 
modeling tell us about cognitive function?"

Dr. Graham Cummins, Center for Computational Biology, Montana State 
University, "Parameter estimation in realistic models of cricket 
dendrites"

The deadline for abstract submission is January 15th, and the deadline
for early registration at reduced rates is February 1st.

Please visit the meeting website:  http://www.WAM-BAMM.org to register,
submit abstracts and for other general meeting information.

Hope to see  you in San Antonio this spring.
