In this round table discussion, each discussant will present a topic concerning history and future of JSN and ISN, then all participants including audiences from floor discuss it freely. The topics are followings：1）Outline of history of JSN（K.Uyemura）. The JSN from 1958 is the oldest society for Neurochemistry in the world. It developed much and is now the 58th meeting in Oomiya,2015. 2）The early stage of JSN（M.Satake）. From the beginning, active and friendly discussions were carried out among clinical doctors such as psychiatrists and scientists of basic medicine. And the discussions continued traditionally until now. They also made great efforts to obtain the national grants. 3）History of ISN and J.Neurochem. （K.Suzuki）. As the treasurer of ISN, Suzuki contributed much to establish its financial background. He succeeded to make J.Neurochem. the official journal of ISN and to obtain considerable benefits to ISN from it. Thereafter, ISN are able to several supports to local meetings, travel expenses and so on. Now as a new treasurer of ISN, Ikenaka was elected. 4）Contributions of Japanese to ISN（E.Miyamoto）. Many Japanese contributed to ISN as officers, council members, the members of editorial board of J.Neurochem. In addition, the ISN meeting were invited to Japan twice（4th ISN meeting, 1973, Tokyo, Chairman Y.Tsukada and 15th meeting, 1995, Kyoto, Chairman K.Kuriyama）. The possibility to invite 3rd ISN meeting in Japan will be discussed. Recenly, as a new council member of ISN, Hiroko Baba was elected in addition to Hisanaga. Their active contribution to ISN and JSN will be expected. 5）History and future of Asian Pacific Society for Neurochemistry（APSN）（K.Ikenaka）. Under ISN, there are three sub-societies in the world, American Society for Neurochemistry（ASN）, European Society for Neurochemistry（ESN）and Asian-Pacific Society for Neurochemistry（APSN）. Each national society belongs to one of sub-society.
Therefore, JSN belong to APSN. Ikenaka, who contributed to APSN as the treasurer and the president of APSN previously, will talk on topics of APSN. 6）Recent problems of JSN（T.Shirao）. There are several problems on JSN, such as the number of members, financial situation including members fee and supports from other resource, policies to support young scientists and woman scientists. In addition, relationship between JSN and other related societies, such as Japanese Neuroscience Society will be discussed. 7）Hopeful future of JSN（H.Kiyama）. Finally, Kiyama, the president of JSN, will show the future of JSN, after these all discussions. | | | |
