IMFAR Welcome<br />
Welcome to IMFAR 2010! We are thrilled to host this year’s meeting in Philadelphia and look forward to a<br />
vibrant three days of scientific presentation and dialogue.<br />
This year the Program Committee of IMFAR reviewed nearly 1000 abstracts from around the world and we<br />
will be hearing from 204 speakers in oral sessions and will review and discuss the work of 750 others in<br />
poster presentations. You will see the extraordinary breadth of research topics covered at the conference<br />
in this program booklet. Please note that there are also a number of Invited Educational Symposia on<br />
topics ranging from Neuro-Imaging Genetics to Future Approaches to the Psychophamacology of <strong>Autism</strong>.<br />
We have also scheduled six lunchtime special interest groups (SIGs) covering sleep, post-mortem brain<br />
research, EEG and MEG, school age intervention, motor action development and sensory dysfunction. We<br />
expect a rich and information-filled meeting and look forward to your feedback at its conclusion.<br />
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals who contribute their time to both<br />
INSAR and to the organization of our annual meeting. The INSAR Board, the Scientific Program Committee<br />
and the countless abstract reviewers help make the meeting more successful each year. Welcome, once<br />
again, and we hope you enjoy every moment of IMFAR 2010!<br />
