The APSN Biennial Meetings
As an international society, we choose meeting locations throughout the countries in the Asia Pacific region.
History of APSN Biennial Meetings
The first meeting of the Asian Pacific Society for Neurochemistry was held in Nagoya, 22-23 October 1992 in conjunction with a meeting of the Japanese Neurochemistry Society. More than 240 neurochemists attended the APSN meeting with the strongest representation coming from Japan (146) and China (56). The inaugural symposia covered neurochemistry in some of the Asian Pacific countries (Australia, China, India, Korea, Philippines and Singapore) and some neuropsychiatric disorders (anxiety, degenerative disorders, depression, and schizophrenia). The abstracts of the first APSN meeting were published in a special supplement of the Journal of Neurochemistry, thanks to the generosity of the International Society for Neurochemistry. The Organising Committee, headed by Yasuzo Tsukada, Yutaka Nagata and Yasuo Kakimoto, is to be congratulated on an excellent meeting which represented a very significant first step towards supporting neurochemistry in the Asian Pacific region.
