Abstract Submission open June 9 until September 13 ins2015.abstractcentral.com
We particularly welcome individual or thematic symposium submissions utilizing imaging or other innovative methodologies to investigate the neural substrates of cognition and behavior, and how these substrates are organized and unified within the brain. As always, we welcome submissions that offer new insights into the cognitive and affective neuroscience of healthy and disease states, innovations in psychological measurement, and state of the art treatment and rehabilitation approaches.
A special symposium is planned to celebrate the life, work and contributions of Norman Geschwind, MD, with presentations made by former trainees. Other symposia topics will include the impact of marijuana use on brain development, SuperAging, and functional networks related to cognition.

Gazzaniga, PhD, a pioneer and leader in cognitive neuroscience, connectivity, and cerebral lateralization; Deanna Barch, PhD, a leading neuroscience researcher engaged in the Human Connectome Project and its relevance for cognitive neuropsychology; Marco Catani, MD, a neuropsychiatrist who is a leader in the study of white matter connectivity and its application in the study of neuropsychological disorders; the Birch Memorial Lecture by Deborah Fein, PhD, on current neuropsychological advances in autism research; Laura Hokkanen, PhD, on longitudinal studies in neuropsychology; and Anthony Feinstein, PhD, on multiple sclerosis and cannabis.
