We have included experimentalists working on questions of synaptic plasticity, systems level behavioral neurophysiology as well as human neuropsychologists, and hope to encourage interaction and discussion between theoreticians and experimentalists working at all of these different levels of analysis.   Program (as of April 12, 2009)   Sunday, 12 April   Afternoon Arrival at Robertson House, Banbury Center, for registration and room assignment   6:00 pm Reception at Robertson House     7:30 pm Dinner at Robertson House     Monday, 13 April   7:15-8:15 am Breakfast at Robertson House     8:30-8:35 am Jan A.
