Current and Upcoming Events
The first international meeting on adult neurogenesis took place in Toronto in May, 2000. The draft of the meeting report is shown below. Many participants expressed interest in making the meeting a regular event. It is hoped that this website will become a forum for organizing the next neurogenesis meeting. If you have ideas about the possible format and the location of the next meeting please post them on the bulletin board.
Workshop on Computational Approaches to Neurogenesis
Baltimore, MD., USA
July 21, 2004
As the concept of adult neurogenesis has become main stream the theoretical/computational framework will be necessary to guide future research. The workshop will try to bring together the experts in computational and experimental fields to promote common understanding of the phenomenon.

Adult Neurogenesis in Natural Populations
Toronto, Canada
May 11, 2000
Thirty scientists and 10 postdoctoral fellows and students from Canada,
Germany, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, and the US attended the meeting. The
scientific agenda consisted of nine symposium style presentations, one ad hoc
session for short presentations (allowing all other participants to present
their research to the group), and discussion sessions in four groups. The
social events and meals maximized discussion and interaction in a friendly,
cottage style setting of the conference center. This project was primarily
funded by the Canadian Tri-Council Workshop / Networking Program, a Federal
initiative to promote and support scientific interaction and development. The
following individuals were members of the co-ordinating group: - Dr. R. Boonstra
, University of Toronto at Scarborough, Division of Life Sciences
-
Dr. L. Galea
, University of British Columbia, Department of Psychology
-
Dr. G. Massicotte
, University of Quebec, Trois Riviere, Department of Chemistry-Biology
-
Dr. S. Matthews
, University of Toronto, Department of Physiology
-
Dr. J.M. Wojtowicz
, University of Toronto, Department of Physiology (project leader)
