DEVELOPMENT OF SENSORY SYSTEMS MINI-MEETING
at the
AAA Annual Meeting at EB 2005

April 2-6 - SAN DIEGO, CA

Supported by an educational grant from March of Dimes, Open Biosystems and Olympus Microscopes
Co-sponsored by Developmental Dynamics

Chairs: Chi-Bin Chien and Monica Vetter (Univ. of Utah)

This 2-day mini-meeting will bring together investigators working on different sensory systems in both vertebrates and invertebrates, in order to highlight related mechanisms governing their development. The symposia will span multiple stages in the development of these sensory systems, ranging from early induction and patterning to axon pathfinding and synaptogenesis.
