The Canadian Physiological Society is a non-profit society that serves as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of scientific information of interest to researchers in Physiology and related Biological Sciences.

The major aims of the Society are to encourage research in the Physiological Sciences and to foster communication between members of the Canadian scientific community. The Society has one major meeting each year in January.

CPS / CAPNET joint winter meeting
Physiological mechanisms of perception, cognition and action
Hotel Mount Gabriel, Sainte-Adèle, Quebec
February 10 to 12, 2011

CPS is trying a new “joint” sponsorship format that focuses the winter meeting on a particular aspect of the physiological sciences. For this year, CPS plans to leverage the traditionally strong neuroscience participation of past meetings in Quebec by teaming up with CAPNET to jointly host Physiological mechanisms of perception, cognition and action. We hope that the success of this years meeting will spur other joint CPS meetings that highlight a variety of topics in physiology.

This conference will be of interest to researchers seeking to understand the physiological basis of how we perceive, think and move about the world at all levels of investigation (including molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral and computational). The format of this years meeting will be similar to past CPS meetings with a single oral presentation track that allows students and postdocs an opportunity to present their research.

The official call for submissions will open in early fall 2010. We hope to see you there.
