2014 ICN / JSCPB is a joint meeting of the 11th International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) and the 36th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (JSCPB). The conference will be held at the Sapporo Convention Center, Sapporo, Japan, July 28th through August 1st, and is co-organized by the International Society for Neuroethology (ISN), the Japanese Association of Neuroethologists (JAN) and the Science Council of Japan (SCJ).

The conference attracts scientists and students engaging in neuroethology – the study of neural mechanisms of animal behavior – working in a broad range of disciplines, including neurophysiology/neuroanatomy, molecular biology/genetics, cognitive psychology, computational neuroscience, and robotics. Neuronal mechanisms of any species – invertebrate or vertebrate, including humans – will be subjects of discussion.

A major goal of the conference is to promote discussion and collaboration among neuroethologists in Asian countries.　We particularly welcome participation of Asian researchers at all levels.
