Journal of the History of the Neurosciences:
Basic and Clinical Perspectives
HISTNEUR-L: The History of Neuroscience Internet Forum
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,
the official organ of the
society, is published by Psychology Press (Taylor & Francis). Now in its twentyfirst year (2012),
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.
