Greetings
We are pleased to announce that the 43rd Annual meeting in 2020 will be held from July 28th(Wed) to August 1st (Sat) at Kobe International Conference Center.

We raised “Theories of the brain” as the theme of the meeting. We chose “theories”, instead of“the theory”, because neuroscience is multidisciplinary. The scope of neuroscience ranges frommolecular, cellular, local circuits, to the whole brain network. Functions of interest range fromsensation, movement, to higher cognitive functions like consciousness. Methodologies involve
those of molecular biology, psychology, physiology, mathematical sciences, and etc. Neuroscienceis an ever-developing field that absorbs any methodologies of use: applications of optogenetics.
iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells, and artificial neural networks are among recent examples. No
other field of science compares to neuroscience in its breadths, widths, and diversities.

The day will come when we acknowledge “the theory” of the brain. However, at present, let’s

enjoy and energize the diversities that the “theories” of the brain bring about. The emblem of themeeting, which incorporated a traditional Japanese checker pattern, symbolizes the process of themulti-disciplinary “theories” revealing multi-dimensional shapes of the brain.

As neuroscience is open to any methodologies of science, this meeting is open to anybody who isinvolved in neuroscience. We are dedicated to providing a comfortable and harassment-freemeeting experience for everyone, regardless of gender, disability, race, age, nationality, orwhatever. The 43rd meeting happens to be held during the period of the Olympic Games in Tokyo

2020. As athletes from the five continents get together in the Olympic Games, I do hope thatneuroscientists around the world come and join the meeting at Kobe.
Let’s come together and enjoy neuroscience in Kobe!
