Our members enjoy learning, sharing, and discussing the latest and most exciting neurologic research. The Science Committee helped satisfy that need with several new programs for the 2006 Annual Meeting. Two Integrated Neuroscience sessions provided in-depth subspecialty concentration on the genetics of movement disorders and motor neuron disease, combining educational programs, scientific sessions, case studies, poster talks, and invited lecturers. The new Hot Topics session covered such topics as ‘Cholesterol, Statins and Stroke,’ ‘Complex Genetics of Parkinson’s Disease,’ and ‘Targeting EGFR in Glioblastoma.’ Another notable debut was the Future of Neuroscience Conference, a daylong interactive program exploring new developments in stem cell research. Noted experts used a variety of formats to present high-level science and practical clinical application related to such topics as regeneration, Parkinson’s disease, oligodendrocytes, brain tumors, and ethical and sociopolitical issues. science leAding, shARing, And discussing — Carlayne E.

A C C O M P L I S H M E N T S • CHANGES TO NEUROlOGy ® . After ten remarkable years, Robert C. Griggs, MD, FAAN, concluded his term as editor-in-chief on December 31, succeeded by John H. Noseworthy, MD, FAAN. An in-depth readership study resulted in a detailed plan crafted by Griggs, Noseworthy, AAN Enterprises, Inc., and publishing partner Lippincott Williams & Wilkins to ensure the ongoing primacy of Neurology ® among scholarly publications. For 2007, publication frequency was increased to weekly, steps were taken to identify and publish content that focuses more sharply on the information needs of practicing neurologists, and the journal was redesigned to improve readability. • NEW ANNuAL MEETING SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING. The record-setting 10,735 registrants in San Diego took advantage of innovative offerings such as the Future of Neuroscience Conference on stem cell research and the Integrated Neuroscience programs. The new NINDS Clinical Research Collaboration (CRC) Colloquium exposed meeting attendees to the new NINDS CRC and encouraged attendees to get their patients involved in clinical trials. Attendees were also able to become Level One certified in the CRC program. The debut Hot Topics Plenary Session drew more than 5,000 attendees seeking highlights of presentations from other subspecialty and neuroscientific meetings so they could keep abreast of the latest scientific developments in neurology.
