This year, the annual meeting
of the Society for Behavioral
Neuroendocrinology will precede and overlap with the International
Conference
on Neuroendocrinology (ICN). This was
done by design, and the two meetings will be fully integrated on the
day of overlap. The program for the SBN
meeting is currently
posted on the SBN meeting web site SBN meeting web site.
Regarding
abstracts:
People
who register only for SBN must submit abstracts via the SBN Abstract system. These abstracts
will appear in the SBN
program of abstracts which will be distributed at the SBN meeting. Note
that
SBN abstracts will not be published this year in Hormones and Behavior
due to
limitations imposed by the publisher.
Those
who register for both the SBN and ICN meetings may, in addition, submit
an
abstract to present as part of the ICN meeting.
ICN abstracts will be published in a special issue of Frontiers
in
Neuroendocrinology. Because of the
publication schedule, ICN abstracts must be submitted by March 15th,
using the Elsevier
Editorial System. After going to
the web site, you will need to establish an account (obtain a user name
and
password) for the Elsevier system, log in, and then submit you
abstract. Note, this only applies to ICN abstracts.
Regarding
abstract programming:
For people who register only for SBN, abstracts will be programmed for presentation at one of the three scheduled poster sessions.
For people who register for BOTH the SBN and ICN meetings, every effort will be made to program your abstracts for presentation on the overlap day. This will provide maximum exposure to attendees of both meetings. On that day, SBN and ICN abstracts will be integrated and programmed thematically. In addition, those who have registered for the ICN meeting may leave their posters up for the duration of ICN.
Regarding
registration:
All
registration for the SBN and ICN meetings is being handled on-line. The SBN
meeting registration page includes
categories to register for SBN only or to register for BOTH the SBN
and ICN meetings. You can also purchase
additional banquet tickets at this site.
