Angel Alonso Memorial Symposium, MNI, McGill Univ, May 3. 2006

The Neuro community will gather for a symposium to mark the scientific contributions of MNI Associate Professor Dr. Angel Alonso who died last summer in the prime of his career. Rodolfo Llinas from New York University Medical College, Angel's post-doctoral mentor, will give a keynote lecture and reflect on Angel"s research which focused on the role of neuronal oscillations in brain function. Colleagues Michael Hasselmo from Boston University, Daniel Johnston from University of Texas, Austin, and Charles Bourque, from McGill, will present scientific talks on their work with Angel. All are welcome to attend the afternoon symposium on May 3 in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Program: http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/announce/alonsosymposium.htm
