Dear Dr. Chan:
Would you kindly send the following message to the cvnet group.
Registrations are coming in very slowly for our CVS Symposium, so
a second notice at this time will be of great help.
Thank you,
Judy Olevnik

20th CVS Symposium
NEURAL CONTROL OF SPATIAL BEHAVIOR
JUNE 19-22, 1996
University of Rochester, Rochester, New York
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Center for Visual Science at the University of Rochester is proud
to present the 20th Symposium, "Neural Control of Spatial Behavior."
The three-day symposium will consist of five sessions plus an open
house and lab tours on Saturday afternoon.
The meeting will begin with a Reception/Buffet on Wednesday evening,
June 19. Formal sessions start Thursday morning, June 20, and end at
noon on Saturday. There will be optional banquets held on Thursday and
Friday evenings, and a cookout lunch on Saturday. Informal discussion
gatherings will follow the banquets.
The Symposium is sponsored in part by NINDS and NIH Biotechnology
Resource Project.
