The program will be finalized by late March 2002. ABSTRACT FORMAT: Please submit your abstract on a single sheet of paper with medium to large font (e.g., Times New Roman 12 point or Arial 11 point) and wide margins (1 inch or more). Specify whether you are applying for a platform or poster presentation. Please include the name, title, affiliation, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address of each author. E-MAIL SUBMISSION FORMAT: Abstracts may be submitted within the body or message area of an e-mail. In order to preserve italics, diacritics, etc., abstracts may also be sent as attached files in one of the following formats: (1) Rich Text Format; (2) Word 6.0/95; or (3) Wordperfect 5.x for Windows. If you send an attachment, you must first scan the file with a recently-upgraded antivirus utility, and note in the body of your e-mail message that the file was scanned and no viruses were detected (if you are unable to do this, you must send your abstract by regular mail or fax). SEND ABSTRACTS by surface mail, air mail, fax or e-mail to the Chair of the Program Committee (and ISHN President):
Papers are expected to have at least one author who is a member of the ISHN. For information on membership, please contact the ISHN Secretary, Russell Johnson (see below). The ISHN encourages all presenters to submit completed papers to the society's official publication, the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences: Basic and Clinical Perspectives. VENUE: Paper and poster sessions, programs, and a series of invited lectures will be held on the campus of UCLA and its environs. The use of a variety of locations is planned in order to take advantage of the resources and display the attractive features of the area, as well as to accommodate the schedule of a campus in the throes of Final Exam Week. Transportation to off-campus meeting and program locations and all receptions will be included in the registration fees.  PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS AND TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
TRANSPORTATION: Los Angeles International Airport ("LAX") is a major international hub, with non-stop flights from many cities in North America, Europe and Asia. As the meeting approaches, we will provide extensive information in the Preliminary Program about shuttle services, taxis, buses, and other ground transportation options to/from LAX-UCLA and throughout the city.  ACCOMODATIONS: Blocks of rooms have been reserved at two hotels. Please make your reservations directly with the hotel:
STUDENT HOUSING:
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: The ISHN has allocated some limited funds to assist with travel expenses for students (pursuing any degree, undergraduate or graduate) whose abstracts have been accepted and who must travel logn distances at great expense. The Program Committee will determine the distribution of these funds based on (1) the quality of abstracts and (2) applicants' projected travel expenses, recognizing that sometimes it costs more to travel modest distances than long ones. If you wish to apply for this assistance, please include with your abstract a short paragraph of request and explanation (with your projected expenses) on a separate sheet. REGISTRATION: The following information about registrations fees is to help you plan your budget. Complete information about when and how to pay registration fees will be announced in March 2002:
