**Keynote Speaker: * Larry Cahill, PhD, Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior, University of California Irvine. As featured on the CBS Program "60 Minutes" and on PBS's "The Emotional Brain", Professor Cahill has been a staunch advocate for the habitual integration of sex differences research in the field of neuroscience. His own discovery of sex differences in the brain circuitry underlying emotional memory catalyzed his own research and the larger field of neuroscience to a new appreciation of the central role of sex in brain function and disease.
