Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PROMOTE THE STUDY OF INTERRELATIONSHIPS AMONG BEHAVIORAL, NEURAL, ENDOCRINE AND IMMUNE PROCESSES AND TO ENCOURAGE COLLABORATIONS AMONG IMMUNOLOGISTS, NEUROSCIENTISTS, CLINICIANS, HEALTH PSYCHOLOGISTS AND BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENTISTS.
TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY
GEORGE SOLOMON MEMORIAL LECTURE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2014, AND IS NAMED FOR ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT FIGURES IN THE HISTORY OF PNI. ESTABLISHED BY HIS WIFE, SUSAN KERAN SOLOMON, IT HONORS THE HISTORY OF PNI AND THE SOCIETY, AND PROVIDES AN ANNUAL FORUM FOR DISCUSSION OF THE IMPORTANT INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL PROCESSES FOR HEALTH AND ILLNESS. THIS YEAR'S LECTURE WAS DELIVERED BY DR. SUSAN LUTGENDORF, TITLED "FROM SOCIAL CONNECTION TO CELL SIGNALING: BIOBEHAVIORAL INFLUENCES ON CANCER PROGRESSION".
THE SOCIETY HELD ITS 26ND ANNUAL MEETING IN BERLIN, GERMANY TO RESEARCH PERSPECTIVES IN PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY, AND TO COMMUNICATE THE RESEARCH FINDINGS OF ITS MEMBERS. THE MEETING WAS HELD JUNE 4-8, 2019. THE MEETING PROVIDED A FORUM FOR SCIENTISTS TO COMMUNICATE CURRENT RESEARCH FINDINGS, TO PRESENT NEW IDEAS, AND TO ENSURE THE GROWTH AND ADVANCEMENT OF PNI RESEARCH BY OFFERING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO MEET ESTABLISHED SCIENTISTS. THIS WAS ACHIEVED, PARTLY, THROUGH THE LECTURE SERIES AND THE TRAINEE PROGRAM. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE SOCIETY PARTNERED WITH GERMAN ENDOCRINE BRAIN IMMUNE NETWORK (GEBIN) TO FACILITATE NEW RESEARCH AND ENHANCED OPPORTNITIES FOR NEW COLLABORATIONS. THE THEME OF THIS YEARS MEETING WAS "INFLAMMATION ACCROSS THE LIFESPAN"LECTURE SERIES: NORMAN COUSINS MEMORIAL LECTURE AWARD WAS PRESENTED BY DR MONIKA FLESHNER ON "INTEGRATIVE STRESS PHYSIOLOGY: BRAIN, BEHAVIOR & IMMUNITY". THE NORMAN COUSINS AWARD IS THE HIGHEST HONOR GIVEN BY THE PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH SOCIETY TO AN INDIVIDUAL FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO RESEARCH IN PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY. ALSO OFFERED WAS AN AWARD LECTURE BY DR. JUDITH CARROLL FOR THE ROBERT ALDER NEW INVESTIGATOR AWARD ON "AGING BIOLOGY IN PNI". THE RONALD GLASER FUND SUPPORTED THE "FRONTIERS IN PNI LECTURE" SERIES, THAT WAS STARTED IN 2017. THIS LECTURE WAS RESERVED FOR OUTSTANDING NON-PNIRS MEMBER SCIENTISTS. THIS YEARS LECTURE WAS PRESENTED BY DR LLUIS QUINTANA-MURCI ON "NATURE, NURTURE, AND YOUR INNER NEANDERTHAL: DISSECTING EVOLUTIONARY DRIVERS OF IMMUNE FUNCTION". BY SUPPORTING OUTSTANDING INVITED LECTURES, THE AIM IS TO FURTHER INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF THE SOCIETY AND TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS EXPLORING BRAIN, BEHAVIOR, AND IMMUNITY. IN STRUCTURING THE ANNUAL MEETINGS, SUBSTANTIAL EMPHASIS IS PLACED UPON TRAINEES BY PROVIDING UPDATE COURSES IN BASIC DISCIPLINES (IMMUNOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE, BEHAVIOR) AND BY ORGANIZING A SPECIAL DINNER FOR TRAINEES ONLY. TRAVEL AWARDS, FUNDED THROUGH AN NIH TRAINEE TRAVEL GRANT, ARE GIVEN TO ENCOURAGE THE PARTICIPATION OF TRAINEE MEMBERS. NEW IN 2016 WAS A PLAN TO INCREASE INVOLVEMENT OF TRANIEES. THE TRAINEE COMMITTE WAS ASKED TO PUT FORTH NAMES OF TRAINEES WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN ALL COMMITTEES AND THE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS NON-VOTING MEMBERS. ELEVENPNIRS TRANIEE SCHOLARS PARTICIPATED WITH ORAL PRESENTATIONS AND POSTER SESSIONS IN 2019.
BRAIN, BEHAVIOR, AND IMMUNITY, FOUNDED IN 1987, IS THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH SOCIETY (PNIRS). THIS INNOVATIVE JOURNAL PUBLISHES PEER-REVIEWED BASIC, EXPERIMENTAL, AND CLINICAL STUDIES DEALING WITH BEHAVIORAL, NEURAL, ENDOCRINE, AND IMMUNE SYSTEM INTERACTIONS IN HUMANS AND ANIMALS. IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL, INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL DEVOTED TO INVESTIGATION OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS THAT INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSES. THE JOURNAL WELCOMES ORIGINAL RESEARCH IN NEUROSCIENCE, IMMUNOLOGY, INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY, BEHAVIORAL BIOLOGY, PSYCHIATRY, PSYCHOLOGY, AND CLINICAL MEDICINE AND IS INCLUSIVE OF RESEARCH AT THE MOLECULAR, CELLULAR, SOCIAL, AND ORGANISMIC LEVELS. THE JOURNAL FEATURES ONLINE SUBMISSION AND REVIEW, LEADING TO TIMELY PUBLICATION OF EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS. THERE ARE NO SUBMISSION FEES OR PAGE CHARGES FOR BRAIN, BEHAVIOR, AND IMMUNITY, WHICH IS PUBLISHED SIX TIMES A YEAR.THE PUBLICATION, PRIMER OF PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH, PROVIDES A CONCISE OVERVIEW OF THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE PNI FIELD. THE PRIMER CONTAINS 42 CHAPTERS AUTHORED BY MORE THAN 75 EXPERTS COVERING THE TOPICS OF IMMUNITY, THE MICRO-BIOTA, NEUROINFLAMMATION, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIOR, MENTAL HEALTH, AGING, PAIN, AND SLEEP. THE PRIMER IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR INVESTIGATORS NEW TO THE FIELD, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IMMUNE INTERACTIONS.
