12 - 13 July 2012
Trinity College | Cambridge
This congress is being organised to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original publication of the Hodgkin and Huxley model of the generation of the action potential by the squid giant axon. This publication and the mathematical model it describes is at the core of our modern understanding of how the action potential is generated, and has had profound effects on many fields of biological science and in particular on computational studies of neuronal function. The congress will be held at Trinity College, Cambridge which is the home academic institution for the original research and will include several commemorative talks and presentations.
The meeting organisers are now soliciting proposals for 30 minute contributed oral presentations on topics related to the Hodgkin / Huxley model and its impact. Those accepted to present talks will have registration and housing fees waved. Proposals for talks should be sent to Simon O'Connor, in the form of a title, a single paragraph description of the talk (500 words), and recent relevant papers by the author.
The meeting will also include an open poster session for any participant who would like to present their work. There are travel funds available for students making poster presentations. In addition, travel grants are available for members of the OCNS (the Organization for Computational Neurosciences).
