PRESENTATION:
The Third Quadrennial Meeting on Orbitofrontal Cortex Function
which will take
place in Paris, France, on Sept 30th – Oct 2nd 2015 at the
Institut du Cerveau
et de la Moelle Epinière, Paris, France. The objective of this three day meeting is
to bring together researchers
with a deep interest in the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in
supporting
cognition (behavior, learning, decision-making) across species.
The meeting is
the third, following up on similar meetings in 2007 and 2011. As
such, it is intended
to focus specifically on new ideas and research that has
influenced the field
over the past 4 years and that appear likely to lead the way
into the next 4
years.
The meeting consists of both invited talks and poster sessions.
The invited
talks are loosely organized into six different sessions that are
titled to
reflect the various stages of processing underlying cognition.
Talks will be
relatively short with ample time for questions and discussion
after each talk
and sub-group of talks. Poster sessions will be interspersed to
allow
participants to interact and present their own unique findings
of relevance to
advancing our understanding of this fascinating brain region.
