INVITATION

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the APSN 2010, we would like to invite you to participate in the 9^th Biennial Meeting of APSN, which will take place in Phuket, Thailand, in 2010.

The emphasis of the meeting will address major topics of latest developments in basic and clinical neuroscience research.  The purpose of the meetings is to offer an international forum of scientific exchange for researchers and clinician   neuroscientists by a series of sessions on high standing scientific developments.  The scientific program includes plenary lectures, symposia and scientific oral and poster presentations. There will be plenty lectures, symposia and scientific oral and poster presentations.  There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and for young investigators to present their work in-and outside the lecture theater.

Phuket, a large island in the Indian Ocean, is 867 km from Bangkok.  It is the only island having provincial status, and was a regional headquarters as well, with a rich and colorful history. Known as the pearl of the Andaman, it derived much on its former glory and its enormous wealth from tin production, which in Phuket dates back over 500 year.  Today, Phuket is the major tourist attraction of Thailand.  The surrounding waters contain much varied marine life, and the town is notable for its Sino-Portuguese architecture.  It is a very attractive island for sightseeing, with lovely seashores and forested hillsides.  Its population of 1.6 million people ranks   sixth among all provinces.

We hope that neuroscientists around the world will join us to help make this meeting educational, exciting and successful and look forward to welcoming you to Phuket.
