title: A feast for the senses: development and function of sensory systems.
abstract: The EMBO Workshop 'Frontiers in Sensory Development' took place in May 2011 in Barcelona. The meeting brought together a diverse group of scientists to tackle the formation and function of the sensory nervous system in all its complexity. The discussions ranged from how signalling and transcriptional networks control cell identity, architecture and behaviour, to how connectivity is established and how such networks have evolved to generate functional diversity.
