• 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.
