Statement from the Board of the ISHN
More than an organization for scholars interested in the history of the neurosciences, the ISHN
(International Society for the History of the Neurosciences)
is a society of friends sharing common goals, including exchanging ideas and furthering education. It has
warmly welcomed members from all over the world irrespective of regional politics and has served as a model
for how people from different countries and backgrounds can respect and work with one another. As an
academic society, we are committed to values of reason and tolerance, and believe diplomacy and dialogue
are the only legitimate means of resolving divergences among nations.
We stand with other scholarly organizations wanting to help the victims of the invasion of Ukraine,
and we support the courageous Russian academics and other dissidents opposing Russia’s aggressive
actions.
Hence:
Registration fees will be waived for Ukrainian academics and students interested in the history
of the neurosciences, to help them attend the ISHN meeting in Rome this June. They also are
invited to apply for stipends to help cover other costs.
Should the income from our annual meeting exceed our expenses, the surplus will be donated to a
humanitarian charity to help the innocent people displaced by Russia’s war rebuild their lives
and their schools.

Journal of the History of the Neurosciences:
Basic and Clinical Perspectives
(open this link in New Tab or in New Page)
The International Society for the History of the Neurosciences (ISHN) was founded in Montreal on May 14, 1995. Its mission is to:
- improve communication between individuals and groups interested in the history of neuroscience;
- promote research in the history of neuroscience; and
- promote education in and stimulate interest for the history of neuroscience.
The Journal of
the History of the Neurosciences: Basic and Clinical Perspectives (open this link in New Tab or in New Page),
the official organ of the
society, is published by Psychology Press (Taylor & Francis). Now in its thirty-first year (2022),
publishing four issues per volume, the
Journal provides a forum for investigations in the field of neuroscience
history, as broadly defined, including the history of basic, clinical, and
behavioral neurosciences, ancient and non-western topics, and significant
individuals, events, and technical advances. ISHN is a focal point for
those interested in neuroscience history and offers, through its journal
and annual meeting, opportunities to contribute to this rapidly growing
field.

News from the ISHN Board
-
At a special online ISHN Board Meeting held on 29 March 2022 to consider the war in Ukraine,
the Board asked for and received the resignation of ISHN President Boleslav (Slava) Lichterman, M.D.
of IM Sechenov First Moscow State University (Sechenov University) in Moscow, Russian Federation
from the office. President-elect Manon Auffret, Pharm.D., Ph.D. of
Institut des Neurosciences Cliniques de Rennes in Rennes,
France, assumed the position of ISHN President for the remainder of 2021-2022 and for 2022-2023.
- Diane Friedman (Marian University, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA) has accepted and assumed
the office of ISHN Treasurer.
News from ISHN2021
- ISHN President (2019-2021) Eelco Wijdicks presided at the 2021 meeting, held
Remotely/Online via Zoom on
9 July 2021. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 annual meeting scheduled for Rennes, France, was cancelled; the 2023
meeting will convene in Rennes.
The meeting was offered free of charge but required registration for the more than 60 attendees to receive the non-public Zoom link.
Invitations were distributed to ISHN members as well as through professional societies including the AAN and WFN.
Six invited papers
were followed by an ISHN 25th Anniversary video tribute prepared by Wendy Finger. Attendees
joined live from Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America; the meeting was not recorded.
Elisabetta Sirgiovanni introduced plans for the ISHN2022 Meeting, which tentatively is set for June 14-18 in Rome, Italy.
The illustrated, detailed ISHN2022 Preliminary Announcement is available on our website.
Peter Koehler reported on the success of the new series, ISHN Monthly Virtual
Programs, which will resume in Fall 2021.
Peter Koehler noted that the editors of Journal of the History of the Neurosciences
will receive training for the use of a new article submission platform, Scholar One. This
platform will permit comprehensive acquisition of papers from authors, distribution and tracking for reviewers,
and analysis of various parameters (including rejection rate) by the editors.
Boleslav Lichterman assumed the chair as ISHN President at the conclusion of the meeting and
will preside over our 26th conference in Rome in 2022. Manon Auffret became President-elect; Wayne Lazar
is the new Treasurer; and Elisabetta Sirgiovanni began a term as Member-at-Large on the ISHN Board of Directors.
[Since this announcement, personal reasons compelled Wayne Lazar to step down as Treasurer; a search is being conducted for his
successor.]
