NOTIFICATION OF ABSTRACT ACCEPTANCE: April 2010

CNS*2010 will be held in San Antonio, Texas, USA July 24-30th, 2010. The 
meeting will kick off with a day of tutorials and an evening welcome 
reception on July 24th. The main meeting of CNS*2010 will
take place from Sunday July 25th-Wednesday July 28th, including a 
special Symposium, "Computational Neuroscience: What have we learned in 
20 years and what do we still need to know?", on the afternoons of July 
26th-27th. These events will be followed by two days of workshops on 
July 29-30th (Thursday-Friday).

The main meeting will be held in the historic Sheraton Gunter Hotel in 
central San Antonio, one block from San Antonio's Famous River Walk. San 
Antonio is home to several universities including the University of 
Texas Health Science Center - San Antonio and the University of Texas 
San Antonio, which are both sponsoring CNS*2010. As is traditional, the 
CNS banquet will be an interesting and culturally themed event, hosted 
at Sundance Ranch on July 28th.
