It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have received many abstracts from researchers by February 14 deadline. However, we assume that there are some researchers who are making advances in their research even after the deadline.
We consider it to be of great importance to have discussions based on recent research achievements and thus make a call for Late-Breaking Abstracts (LBA).
Submit LBA and present your latest research developments.
LBAs are accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. Please kindly understand that call for LBAs will be closed as soon as it reaches maximum number of submissions. Early submission would be recommended.

5. Disclosure of Conflict of Interest (COI)

When presenting at the Japan Neuroscience Society meeting, you will be required to disclose any conflicts of interest involving the lead presenter, corresponding author (including non-members), and their spouses or first-degree relatives (those sharing income or assets) for the one year preceding abstract submission.
If applicable, any conflicts of interest must also be disclosed during your presentation at the meeting.

6. How to Submit your Abstract

1） Registration process (create an account, register for the meeting and submit an abstract)

Please click on the “Registration System” button at the bottom of this page to create an account and register for the meeting. After your registration is completed, you will be able to continue to submit your abstract.
To view or modify what you have entered, you need to login to the system. Please be sure to keep your account information (login ID and password) in a safe place until acceptance/non-acceptance of your abstract is notified.
We kindly ask for your understanding that we are unable to assist with inquiries related to login IDs and passwords for security reasons.

2） Abstract submission flow: from entry to completion

• Follow the instructions on the abstract submission screen and enter required information.
• Once your submission is completed, a confirmation email will be sent automatically. If you do not receive the email within 60 minutes, your abstract may not have been successfully registered into the system. In this case, please submit your abstract again. Additionally, be sure to check your spam folder for the confirmation email. Depending on your PC environment, machine-dependent characters may not be displayed correctly in the confirmation email. If they are displayed correctly on the registration system though, there is no problem.

3） Character limit

The abstract body is limited to 1,500 - 2,500 characters, including space, special characters, symbols, and HTML tags used for text formatting. To count characters, please click “body” to select all text, copy, click on the “Characters Counter” button, and paste the text into the counter box.

4） Special characters and text formatting

If you wish to use special characters or text formatting, please copy and paste the necessary symbols from the list displayed in another window on the abstract submission screen.

7. Viewing/Modifying Submitted Abstracts

• You can view or modify your submitted abstract only during the abstract submission period. Please login to the registration system and make necessary changes.
• Once the call for abstracts is closed, you will not be able to modify any registered information, including the abstract text, author names (both first author and co-authors), or affiliations. No exceptions will be made, regardless of the circumstances.
• Submitted abstracts will not be proofread in principle. The registered information will be published on the Abstract browsing system as entered, so the submitting author is responsible for ensuring that all affiliations and co-authors are correctly listed without omissions.

8. Abstract Acceptance Notification

Notifications regarding the acceptance or non-acceptance of regular abstracts will be sent via email in early June, following the finalization of the program.. The acceptance notification will include details such as the presentation date, time, format, and room. The decision regarding acceptance or non-acceptance of abstracts is at the discretion of the Program Committee. Please be aware that your abstract may not be accepted.

 

9. Important Notes

Accepted abstracts will be published in JNS Meeting Planner 2025 in early July prior to the　meeting. The exact publication date will be announced on our website or through mail newsletters. If you require a “Proving Document for Seeking Application for Provision of Exceptions to Lack of Novelty of Invention” under Article 30 of the Patent Act, please contact the meeting secretariat at (jns2025@aeplan.co.jp).
