International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology Conference 2007

In August, the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology held its 38th annual meeting in Madison (WI, USA). The title ‘Setting the Stage for the Future: Psychoneuroendocrinology in the 21st Century’ emphasized the conference’s major objective to exchange compelling discoveries and innovative scientific methodologies that have the potential to enhance clinical and applied research in the field. The symposia organized by society president, Ned Kalin (Chair, University of Wisconsin, WI, USA) and organizing secretariat Steven Shelton (University of Wisconsin, WI, USA), attracts students and professionals from over ten countries, and serves to disseminate critical issues in stress research to scientific communities worldwide. One of the major themes underlying the discussions concerned the interindividual nature of the stress response. Variability in terms of conditions that elicit hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) activity and the magnitude of glucocorticoid (GC) responses, as well as the isolation of brain regions and circuitry involved in these processes, were focused on.
