Dear Colleague,

The Marilyn Jones-Gotman Symposium: Epilepsy and Cognition, Smell and Taste honours and celebrates Marilyn Jones-Gotman's outstanding career which has spanned 35 years and pays tribute to her significant scientific contributions.  This will be a one-day event with four morning talks devoted to epilepsy, and four afternoon sessions focused on chemical senses, thus encompassing two of the main research interests that Marilyn maintained throughout her career. The invited speakers and topics assure an exciting program. 

The symposium will take place on Monday, October 4, 2010 in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 3801 University Street, Montreal, Quebec. Confirmed speakers are Frederick Andermann, Jelena Djordjevic, Jerome Engel, Brenda Milner, Marcia Pelchat, Michael Petrides, Gail L. Risse, Ivanka Savic-Berglund, Dana Small, Noam Sobel, Viviane Sziklas, Indre V. Viskontas, and Robert J. Zatorre.
