Cognitive enhancement has become a subject of considerable research and, both in neuroscience and society at large, growing controversy. This satellite meeting will survey progress in the field from attempts to facilitate the substrates of memory and cognition in animal models to clinical studies targeted at major psychiatric disorders. Attendees will accordingly have a first-hand opportunity to learn about the broad spectrum of enhancement research ranging from epigenetics through synaptic plasticity and brain networks to behavior. Individual sessions include both cutting edge work on currently marketed drugs and experiments using novel, mechanism-based compounds.
