Descriptions:

---------------------------------
The 2010 NEURON Simulator Meeting
---------------------------------
The purpose of this meeting is to bring together neuroscience
experimentalists and theoreticians who are interested in using
computational modeling in research and education -- not just
current users of NEURON, but also those who are interested in
using it -- for the purpose of sharing the latest knowledge
and stimulating communication and collaboration.  Special
presentations on Python, parallel network modeling, and other
topics are being planned, and registrants are invited to
propose talks, symposia, tutorials and workshops on these
and other topics relevant to computational neuroscience.
Registration is limited to 30 participants on a first-come,
first serve basis.

--------------------------------------------------
Course on Parallelizing Network Models with NEURON
--------------------------------------------------
This is intended for individuals who have already developed their own
network models with NEURON that run on "serial" computers, which they
now want to port to parallel hardware.  This is a "hands-on" course
that alternates didactic presentations and discussions with intensive
coding sessions with expert consultants close at hand.  Registration
is limited to 10 participants on a first-come, first serve basis.


The registration deadline for these events is Friday, Feb. 26, 2010,
but why wait--sign up now for the Meeting or the Course or both!
