ISAN

The International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience (ISAN) comprises researchers, medical professionals, academics, industry professionals and students working with the autonomic nervous system.

The purpose of ISAN is to facilitate communication between those working in this area of neuroscience and to raise the profile of autonomic neuroscience.

The Society organises meetings, lobbies for an improved representation of autonomic neuroscience in research organisations, and aids communication between scientists who work on all aspects of the autonomic nervous system.

ISAN2009: our 6th Congress

Our very great thanks to everyone who was involved in the organisation or attended ISAN2009, the 6th Congress of ISAN, held at Manly Beach, Sydney, Australia on 1-4 September, 2009. ISAN2009 was held in conjunction with the European Federation of Autonomic Societies (EFAS). We are particularly grateful to Professor Vaughan Macefield and the ISAN2009 Local Organising Committee for their hard work and to the sponsors that generously supported the meeting.

The program included 4 plenary lectures and 18 symposia, covering topics that extended from cellular communication within the autonomic nervous system to the autonomic consequences of spinal cord injury. The ISAN2009 International Programming Committee, chaired by Professor Yvette Taché, played a major role in the development of the excellent scientific program. Symposia were selected from a large number of top quality proposals submitted by ISAN members, and each symposium included a presentation selected from abstracts. ISAN's first President, Professor Geoff Burnstock, also presented a very interesting summary of the history of ISAN and its journal, Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical. download powerpoint (note: large file).

We would like to congratulate the following winners of the awards provided by Elsevier to early career researchers who presented their research at ISAN 2009:

Clinical research: Derek Kimmerly (oral presentation), Tye Dawood (poster). Basic research: Christina Nassenstein (oral presentation). Sabine Kobayter (poster)

We thank all participants for helping to make ISAN2009 a great event and look forward to seeing you all in Brazil in 2011!
