The tenth annual meeting of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN) will be held Saturday June 17 through Tuesday June 20 at the Marriott Pittsburgh City Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA, and has been planned to immediately precede and integrate with the 6th International Congress of Neuroendocrinology ICN2006 being held at the new Pittsburgh convention center. Expanding on the tradition of the Conference on Reproductive Behavior (CRB), established over 30 years ago, the SBN meeting fosters interactions among scientists interested in the neuroendocrine, social, and environmental factors that regulate reproduction, aggression, affiliation, ingestion, learning and memory. In addition, the meeting promotes interactions with neuroendocrinologists using multi-disciplinary and comparative approaches that study these behavioral endpoints. The scientific program will be composed of sessions of invited speakers integrated with contributed short talks and poster presentations.
