Greetings
We are pleased to announce that NEURO2019, the joint meeting of the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Japan
Neuroscience Society and the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry, will be held from
July 25 (Thu) to 28 (Sun), 2019 at the Toki Messe Niigata Convention Center in the west coast of the main islandof Japan. It has been six years since these organizations held the previous joint meeting in Kyoto in 2013.
Both societies were formed several decades ago with the aim of furthering understanding of the way the brainand nervous system function, with the Japan Neuroscience Society taking a neurophysiological approach and theJapanese Society for Neurochemistry, a neurochemical approach, and each making significant advances in theirrespective disciplines. Yet in recent years, studies of neural systems have increased in scope significantly,
expanding beyond the traditional fields of biology, medical science and pharmaceutical science to cover thedisciplines of economics, psychology, infotech, system engineering, education and chemistry as people try to use
the knowledge of neuroscience to simulate trends in social behaviors and economic phenomena. Indeed, theborders that have separated realms of neuroscience and neural research are becoming increasingly murky. In lightof such trends, the NEURO2019 joint meeting has been organized with the aim of bringing together a broad rangeof multidisciplinary fields of study.
With such impressive developments being made with modern neuroscience – such as molecular manipulation
techniques for neurons and glial cells in the brain, control techniques for neural circuits, visualization methods ofhuman brain activity, and computational neuroscience – we are gaining a better understanding of how theactivities of groups of neural cells can regulate the various brain functions of “mind”, and we are elucidating thepathological mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric diseases. Under the general consensus that we, humans,
have obtained these tools to reveal the fundamental ways how human brains operate, policy initiatives are takenby the governments around the world to promote further advances in brain research.
As neuroscience and neurochemical research continue to expand on a global scale, the Japan Neuroscience
Society and the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry have organized NEURO2019 as a joint meeting with thetheme of “Brain Science Takes Flight: Bridging the Mind and Life,” by focusing on the most recent developments inmodern neuroscience and providing an avenue to discuss potential future developments. To achieve this goal,
NEURO2019 will invite internationally distinguished researchers for plenary lectures and leading Japaneseneuroscientists for special lectures, and medical education programs will also be implemented. An additional
focus has been placed on training of young researchers, with the program such as oral presentations of young
researchers, education-related seminars, and young scientist seminars. Thus, the Neuro2019 program will provide
an extensive range of learning and discussion opportunities covering fundamental knowledge through toadvanced fields catering to trainees through to graduate school students and researchers.
We would like to take this opportunity to provide the additional information below as We ask for your company’s
cooperation and support for NEURO2019. We are looking forward to welcoming a large number of participants at
the joint meeting. In closing, We offer my hopes for the continued growth and prosperity of your company.
Sincerely,

Meeting Outline
 TitleJoint conference of The 42nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience
Society and The 62nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for
Neurochemistry (Neuro2019) ThemeBrain Science Takes Flight : Bridging the Mind and Life

 DateJuly 25 (Thu) – 28 (Sun), 2019
*The conference is scheduled to finish at 1:30pm and only educational
lectures, symposia, and oral presentations are planned to be heldon Day 4(July 28). Poster presentations, exhibition, and luncheon
seminars are not programmed.

 Venue

TOKI MESSE – Niigata Convention Center Purpose and SignificanceWith such impressive developments being made with modern neuroscience –such as molecular manipulation techniques for neurons and glial cells in the brain, manipulation
techniques for neural circuits, visualization methods of human brain activity, and computational
neuroscience – we have been able to gain a better understanding of how the activities of groupsof neural cells in the brain can be attributed to various functions of mind, and we have evenbeen able to identify the pathological mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric diseases anduse these findings for developing a way to treat them. Based on the consensus that we haveobtained enough tools to reveal the fundamental way brains operate, many countries aroundthe world are now taking the initiative to promote further advances in brain research.
Under such situations where Neuroscience and neurochemical research continue
to expand on a global scale, the Japan Neuroscience Society and the Japanese Society for
Neurochemistry have organized this joint meeting with the aim of promoting quantal leaps inneuroscience and neurochemistry research that extend beyond the traditional boundaries ofsuch fields. To achieve this goal, the world’s leading researchers from a range of disciplines will
present plenary lectures and special lectures, and symposiums and educational forums will beheld to provide participants with a greater scope of the latest knowhow and advances, andfacilitate communications among the researchers across research disciplines. A truly diverse
program is being organized to run from early morning until late in the evening with the goal ofboosting the level of “knowledge, technical prowess and interaction,” particularly for young
trainees and those just starting out in the field of neuroscience.
