| Symposium: Molecular Neuroethology in Drosophila: Methods, advances, and limitations |
 This is a symposium I've been looking forward to. The worse is that I'm still hunting down my posters which have gone missing during the flight here. Apparently, they have been delivered, but not to the hotel where I'm ...[more] |

| Jon H. Kaas: The evolution and functional organization of primate brains |
| Jon Kaas started his talk by showing some of the main differences between the monkey and human brain. Moving further back in evolution, he continued by outlining the organization of the tiny brains of some of the earlies...[more] |

| Kenneth Catania: Convergent and divergent foraging strategies, sensory specializations, and brain evolution in moles |
| Kenneth Catania compared the sensory systems of the Star Nosed Mole and the Water Shrew. The nose of the Star Nosed Mole is covered with specialized sensory organs called Eimer's organs. In order to smell, the mole exhal...[more] |

| Posters have finally arrived! |
| I got back to the hotel very late last night after the fireworks competition in Vancouver and to my great relief the tube with the posters had finally arrived! So now I'm all set for the poster session this afternoon! Th...[more] |

| Piali Sengupta: Running hot and cold: Thermosensory behaviors in C. elegans |
| After an hour of neurons, patterns and rhythms, Piali Sengupta talked about behavior in probably the most accessible nuroethological model system, the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. She started out by detailing t...[more] |

| Posters seem to be on the way |
| Apparently, my posters which got lost by British Airways have now been found and are on the way to my accommodation here in Vancouver! At least that's what the website says that they have referred me to... Now that's a re...[more] |

| Meeting fellow neuro-bloggers |
| I'm now on the way to meet two more neuro-bloggers, one is Sandra Kiume from OmniBrain and the other one chose to remain anonymous. Now that I know the posters are coming, it'll be a completely relaxed evening and I'm lo...[more] |

| British Airways lost posters for ICN |
| And apparently I'm not the only one. A bunch of people at this year's ICN meeting had to print their posters again locally at great cost in money and time after their airlines lost their poster tubes. My posters are due ...[more] |

| Leslie Vosshall: Molecular neuroethology of olfaction in Drosophila |
| Leslie Vosshall from Rockefeller University studies the sense of smell in fruit flies. Drosophila larvae compare left and right olfactory inputs to find food sources. On a petri dish, these larvae find odor sources with...[more] |
