The Abstracts of the 2nd Workshop Neurogenetics in Munich , October
19-21, 1995, the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Neurogenetics
are available at http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/HUM-MOLGEN/DGNG/.
The German Society of Neurogenetics was founded in 1994. Its main
objective is the enhancement of scientific exchange between all
those disciplines that address questions on the genetics of normal
and abnormal function of the nervous system. Consequently, its
members come from many diverse fields of scientific enquiry such as
Biophysics, Human Genetics, Cell Biology, Neuroanatomy,
Neurochemistry, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Neuropathology and
Psychiatry. The Society organizes yearly workshops to discuss
scientific breakthroughs in the field. Here, international invited
speakers guarantee the highest possible scientific standard.
Furthermore, the society issues at least two yearly newsletters.
While the first two newsletters were written in German, future
communications will be in English. The statutes of the society,
copies of all newsletters and a registration form can be obtained
at: http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/genetik/dgng.html
