The 9th Symposium for Chinese Neuroscientists Worldwide 2016 (SCNW 2016)

SCNW is a biennial meeting to provide a forum for Chinese Neuroscientists worldwide to present and discuss research in all areas of neurosciences. The mission of SCNW is to promote interactions, collaborations, and friendship among Chinese neuroscientists worldwide and to promote neuroscience research in China. 
The first SCNW was held in He Fei, An Hui province in 2000 with huge success. Seven SCNWs were subsequently held in Cheng Du (2002), Guang Zhou (2004), Kun Ming (2006), Chang Sha (2008), Nan Chang (2010), Xi'an (2012) and Soochow (2014). SCNW has been regarded as one of the best conferences for neuroscientists of Chinese origin to get together in China. 
After 16 years, the nineth SCNW will be held in Hefei again in 2016. SCNW conferences are supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Chinese Neuroscience Society (CNS) and Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences (CAPS). SCNW2016 is sponsored by University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the Anhui Society for Neuroscience (ASN) and Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Brain Function and Disease (BFD).
