Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Board of the Italian Society for Neuroscience (SINS), of the Program, Local and Honorary Committees, we are pleased to announce that the next National Congress of the SINS will be held in Milano at the Hotel Marriott on October 2-5, 2009.

The Congress is aimed at stimulating new and productive interactions among basic and clinical scientists involved in this exciting area of research. As in the past editions the Congress will be characterized by a multidisciplinary approach to the molecular, cellular and integrative mechanisms regulating the organization and functions of the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as to the pathophysiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The Congress will consist of:

- invited lectures,
- symposia,
- poster sessions.

Submission of abstracts for poster presentation will open on May 14, 2009.

We particularly encourage the participation of young investigators, who will benefit of a reduced registration fee; several travel and accommodation grants will also be provided by SINS.

Please check this website for more detailed information and updates.

We look forward to seeing you in Milan,

best regards,


Roberto C. Melcangi & Angelo Poletti
