The Society for Neuroscience is the world's largest organization of scientists and physicians dedicated to understanding the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.

Neuroscientists investigate the molecular and cellular levels of the nervous system; the systems within the brain, such as vision and hearing; and behavior produced by the brain. This research provides the basis for understanding the medical fields concerned with treating nervous system disorders. These medical specialties include neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry and ophthalmology.

The goals of the Society are to facilitate and encourage the assemblage, acquaintanceship and the association of scientists engaged in research in Xenobiotic metabolism and in other related disciplines; to disseminate, discuss and publish results of research and related matters of interest in metabolism; to promote public awareness of chemical metabolism and its social and environmental implications; and to promote education and training in the field.
