Publication of Abstracts
The abstracts of the 2009 meeting will be published by Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. Similar to the abstracts of the Society for Neuroscience meeting, these abstracts are citeable, but they are not full-length proceedings and therefore do not preclude further publication. The copyright in individual abstracts is the property of their respective authors.
