Sažetak
The 24th C.I.N.P. meeting was held in Paris, France, from June 20-24, 2004. The opening ceremony and welcome reception was chaired by Professor Herbert Y Meltzer, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA, President of C.I.N.P., and a new president was elected (Professor Brian E. Leonard, Ireland). Congress included the rich social program, combined with lectures of invited speakers, speeches and awards. There were 6650 registered participants all over the world. The meeting consisted of 4 plenary lectures (held by Professor FE Bloom, Department of Neuropharmacology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla USA, Professor HY Meltzer, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA, Professor CL Masters, The University of Melbourne, and the Mental Health Research Institute of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, and Professor JP Changeux, CNRS URA 2182 Recepteurs and Cognition, Paris, France), 69 symposia, 5 synthesia, 25 satellite symposia, 2 electronic interactive sessions, 6 meet the expert sessions, 11 sessions that were held under the name breaking scientific news, 6 workshops, 5 joint meetings, and 2 poster sessions with 657 posters. Posters were displayed for 2 days between 12.00 to 18.00 h, and presenters were available between 16.30 and 18.00 h to answer the questions. Abstracts from the congress were published in International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, vol 7, Supplement 1, June 2004. The 24th Collegium Internationale Neuro-Psychopharmacologicum (C.I.N.P.) Congress introduced some new exciting data, summarized some new knowledge, and its goal was to connect the preclinical and clinical data and to introduce some news into clinical practice. The smaller part of the congress that I was able to follow was well organized, and very good attended, with diverse topics, covering all aspects of psychneuropharmacological research. The sponsorship by the pharmaceutical industries was visible only in the selected sponsored symposia.
