The first complete sessions and data blitz talks are now listed on the "Scientific Program" page. All new session/speaking requests will join a wait list and we will determine soon if any new entries can be added. The registration form is now active on the "Register" page.

If you would like to organize a theme-based session, please note that each talk is 5 minutes plus 2 minutes for discussion. The duration of the session will be determined by the number of speakers. Up to 8 people can speak in one hour so this is a good format if you have a large number of speakers. You can also request an individual Data Blitz spot that is not part of a themed session. To submit a session suggestion, please write to us via the "Contact Us" page. Early career submissions are particularly encouraged. Do not delay as the program is filling quickly. We have already filled all of the slots available for the longer-talk sessions.

We are now starting to build the scientific program, which is made up of themed one-hour sessions and variable-length sessions that involve 5 minute-long talks. The Data Blitzes (5 minute talks) are for everyone, and will enable anyone to present their data without being in a themed session.
The Spring Hippocampal Research Conference is designed to bring together students, fellows, researchers, and clinicians interested in all aspects of normal hippocampal formation structure and function in learning, memory, and spatial function, as well as its dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric disorders. In addition to presenting and hearing the latest data in the formal sessions and data blitzes, participants benefit from informal interactions throughout the conference.
You are invited! This is an entirely open and democratic meeting. We encourage early-career colleagues and students to submit session proposals at any time. Regardless of junior/senior career status, the primary metrics are session quality and areas of broad interest. Please note that all participants pay the registration fee and the costs of attending as this is an unsponsored, informal meeting. Pre-doctoral students are subsidized with a reduced registration fee.
For the formal sessions, please keep in mind the following organizational details when inviting colleagues: Four speakers in a one hour session will allow for 10 minute talks with 5 minutes for questions; with more people in a one-hour session, the talk lengths will obviously be shorter. You can chair the session without speaking if you prefer.
For the Data Blitz presentations: 5 minutes for each speaker plus 2 minutes for questions.
If you are interested in organizing a session or being in a Data Blitz, please let us know via the "Contact Us" page. Please keep in mind that once the program starts to be actively organized, it fills very quickly.
