JOINT MEETING ISAN/AAS-2011
7TH CONGRESS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR AUTONOMIC NEUROSCIENCE
22ND SYMPOSIUM OF THE AMERICAN AUTONOMIC SOCIETY
SEJAM BEM VINDOS AO BRASIL
Welcome to Brazil!!!
On behalf of the International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience (ISAN), the American Autonomic Society (AAS), and the Local Organizing Committee, we are delighted to invite you to attend the first joint meeting of ISAN and AAS.
Traditionally, autonomic neuroscience has been an area of natural convergence between basic and clinical research. Therefore, a joint meeting of ISAN/AAS will result in a broad scientific program covering major aspects of the structure and function of the autonomic nervous system and its main disorders. An international program committee has been appointed and will assure scientific excellence in an up-to-date and highly relevant scientific program covering all areas related to autonomic neuroscience. All members of both societies will be solicited shortly to submit proposals for plenary lectures and symposia topics. More detailed information can also be found at the congress website
ISAN/AAS–2011 will be held on September 12-16, 2011 in Buzios – located on a delightful peninsula with magnificent beaches, crystal clear water and an exuberantly sculptured landscape, only 2 hours pleasant drive from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Besides its natural beauty, we believe this venue will provide an optimal environment for basic and clinical scientists, young investigators, and graduate students to interact and establish collaborations. Several initiatives are underway to ensure a rewarding scientific and personal experience for all.
Please join us in Buzios, Brazil for ISAN/AAS 2011!

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 ISAN2009 International Programming Committee, chaired by Professor Yvette Taché, played a major role in the development of the excellent scientific program. 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!
