Abstract
The 12(th) Annual Meeting of the Winter Conference on Neural Plasticity was held in Reduit Bay, St. Lucia on February 19 – 26, 2000. The Conference was attended by approximately 80 participants from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. Most of the participants were neuroscientists from universities and basic research departments of applied institutions. The primary focus of the conference is to annually review recent advances in the area of neural plasticity from multi‐disciplinary and lifespan perspectives. There was an initial “New Concepts Session” and nine scientific sessions, each lasting two hours.
