British Society for Neuroendocrinology

History

This society was founded as the British Neuroendocrine Group in 1985, formally constituting as the British Society for Neuroendocrinology (BSN) in 2001.[1]

Major activities

The society is a registered charity in the United Kingdom (no 1002014)[2] whose aims are to promote research and learning into neuroendocrinology: the interplay between the endocrine and nervous systems that control important body functions and behaviour. The ultimate aim of this research is to provide therapies for the many neuroendocrine diseases and disorders that may develop throughout the life course, and to develop methods to beneficially regulate normal neuroendocrine function in man and animals. The Society established the Journal of Neuroendocrinology[3] in 1989 under the editorship of Prof Stafford Lightman. It is now published by Wiley, Prof Julian Mercer (University of Aberdeen) is the Editor-in-Chief.

Membership

Ordinary membership is open to researchers, clinicians and students in the field of neuroendocrinology, endocrinology and related disciplines.[1] Honorary membership is for persons of special distinction in neuroendocrinology and is awarded by the executive committee of the society.

Mortyn Jones Lectureship

The British Society for Neuroendocrinology awards annually the Mortyn Jones Lectureship to a researcher that has made a major contribution to neuroendocrine research.[1]
