Poster and Oral Session Presentations

The full scientific program (Symposium, Colloquium, and Workshops) can be found at: http://www.asneurochem.org/SciProgrms/ASN2005SciProg.htm

Posters are divided into two sessions, each lasting for 2 consecutive days (Sunday-Monday or Tuesday-Wednesday). Posters will be available for viewing each day beginning at 7 am until the end of that day’s sessions. Approximately 2 hours each day (beginning immediately after lunch) will be exclusively dedicated for poster viewing. Authors are expected to be present at their posters from 1:30 to 2:30 each day.

Poster instructions

The four oral sessions are each scheduled for 1hr 45 minutes. These sessions will begin at approximately 5:00 pm on the indicated days. Please refer to the Program booklet for exact times and places.
