Welcome address

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to inform that we are organizing a National symposium on “Neural plasticity and repair” on 18th and Workshop on “Evaluation of plasticity in pain” on 19th October 2006, at Conference Hall, All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

Experts including physiologists, anatomists, neurologists, neurobiologists, pharmacologists have been invited to deliver the lectures. The format of the meeting will include oral sessions consisting of invited lectures and parallel poster sessions. It hopes to stimulate discussions across the various fields of basic neuroscience to clinical outcomes, to further understand and support progress in brain research.

The workshop includes demonstration of electrophysiological and biochemical techniques for evaluation of plasticity in pain. This has significance in predicting chronic pain.

We invite you to attend the symposium cum workshop in large numbers and also share this information with your colleagues and students.

We are looking forward to your active participation.

With warm regards

Chairman, Organizing Committee

Finally the institutional affiliations and city should be listed under the authors. The text of the abstract should include a statement of the purpose of the study, a detailed summary of the results and a conclusion. Do not present conclusions that are not justifiable by the data provided. The authors should proof read carefully for errors. Use standard abbreviations and symbols. Keep abbreviations to a minimum and define each one when it is used for the first time. Figures and graphs are not permitted. Type the abstract single spaced using Times New Roman 14 point font size. Leave 1.5" left margin, 1" right margin and 1" as header. Few references and acknowledgement about grant support may be given at the end.

A poster should be self-contained and self-explanatory, allowing different viewers to proceed on their own while leaving the author free to discuss points raised in inquiry. Poster boards are 40"X 40" high.

Title
Prepare a banner for the top of the poster indicating the abstract title, author(s), and affiliation(s).

Illustrations
Figures should be designed to be viewed from a distance and should use clear, visible graphics and large type. The sequence of illustrations should be indicated with numbers or letters.
