The International Behavioral Neuroscience Society (IBNS), was founded in 1992.[1][2] The goal of the IBNS is to "encourage research and education in the field of behavioral neuroscience". Its current president is Mikhail Pletnikov. Brain Research Bulletin,[3] Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews,[4] and Physiology and Behavior[5] are official journals of the IBNS.

Profile

Mission

The IBNS mission statement is to encourage research and education in the field of behavioral neuroscience[2] by:

  • Promoting and encouraging education and research with respect to behavioral neuroscience
  • Collaborating with existing public and private organizations to promote and encourage education and research in behavioral neuroscience[6]

Awards

Each year the IBNS recognizes top scientists in the field of behavioral neuroscience with:

  • The Matthew J. Wayner-NNOXe Pharmaceuticals Award for distinguished lifetime contributions to behavioral neuroscience[7]
  • Electing individuals who have made substantial contributions to the Society and to the field of behavioral neuroscience as Fellows[6]

In addition, the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society's award for "outstanding accomplishments in support of scientific research relevant to behavioral neuroscience" is given at irregular intervals. Past recipients include Richard K. Nakamura, Deputy Director of the National Institute for Mental Health.[8]
