Cognitive Neuroscience Societies
American Academy of Neurology (AAN)
The AAN was established in 1948, and is an international professional association of nearly 19,000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals dedicated to providing the best possible care for patients with neurological disorders.
American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN)
The AANN is committed to the advancement of neuroscience nursing as a specialty through the development and support of nurses to promote excellence in patient care. As the leading authority in neuroscience nursing, it inspires passion in nurses and creates the future for the specialty.
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
The AAAS was founded in 1848, and is an international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing science around the world by serving as an educator, leader, spokesperson and professional association. In addition to organizing membership activities, AAAS publishes the journal Science, http://www.sciencemag.org as well as many scientific newsletters, books and reports, and spearheads programs that raise the bar of understanding for science worldwide.
Cognitive Science Society
Brings together researchers from many fields who hold a common goal: understanding the nature of the human mind. The Society promotes scientific interchange among researchers in disciplines comprising the field of Cognitive Science, including Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Anthropology, Psychology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Education. Membership in the society includes a subscription to the journal Cognitive Science.
Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS)
The CNS is committed to the development of mind and brain research aimed at investigating the psychological, computational, and neuroscientific bases of cognition. The term cognitive neuroscience has now been with us for almost three decades, and identifies an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the nature of thought.
European Brain and Behaviour Society (EBBS)
EBBS was founded in 1968. Its purpose is the exchange of information between European scientists interested in the relationship of brain mechanisms and behaviour. To this avail the Society organises a General Meeting every year.
Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS)
FENS was founded in 1998 at the Forum of European Neuroscience in Berlin and is the successor organisation of the European Neuroscience Association. It represents a large number of national European neuroscience societies and several monodisciplinary societies.
Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS)
FEPS was founded during the Regional Meeting of IUPS in Prague in 1991. It now comprises 27 Constituent Societies. Its main aim is to promote and foster the exchange and diffusion of concepts and information between physiologists and the societies of physiology in the European region.
Neuroethics Society
The Neuroethics Society is an interdisciplinary group of scholars, scientists and clinicians who share an interest in the social, legal, ethical and policy implications of advances in neuroscience.
European Neuroscience and Society Network (ENSN)
The last twenty years have seen unprecedented progress and innovations in the neurosciences - a term that encompasses the fields of psychiatry, neurology, psychopharmacology, behavioural genetics and molecular biology. Despite evidence that advances in the neurosciences are having a significant impact on the lives of individuals across Europe, there has been little formal engagement within the European social sciences with the ethical, social and legal implications of recent developments in this branch of scientific experimentation. The ENSN has been established in order to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for timely and necessary engagement with these issues, through the development of research strategies, conferences, exchange visits, workshops and “neuroschools” that will bring together leading European neuroscientists and social scientists for sustained discussions and cross-disciplinary exchanges about the present and future impact of advances in the neurosciences on our lives. The programme runs for five years, from June 2007 to June 2012.
Society for Neuroscience
The Society for Neuroscience is a non-profit membership organization of basic scientists and physicians who study the brain and nervous system. Neuroscience includes the study of brain development, sensation and perception, learning and memory, movement, sleep, stress, aging and neurological and psychiatric disorders. It also includes the molecules, cells and genes responsible for nervous system functioning. Recognizing the tremendous potential for the study of the brain and nervous system as a separate field, the Society was formed in 1970. It has grown from 500 members to more than 36,000 and is the world's largest organization of scientists devoted to the study of the brain.
Society of Applied Neuroscience (SAN)
SAN is a nonprofit membership organization devoted to advancing neuroscientific knowledge and its innovative applications by empowering both scientists and practitioners in serving the public by optimising self-regulatory brain function. Its membership is open to scientists and practitioners interested in an integrated approach with involves the neural, cognitive and behavioural levels of analysis.
Committee on Women in Neuroscience (C-WIN)
C-WIN was founded in 1980 as an international organization with the chief purpose of fostering the development and career advancement of women scientists, particularly in the field of neuroscience. For 25 years, it has worked to provide opportunities for women in neuroscience at all levels.
