Hormones and Brain Function [antikvár]

PREFACE The International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology organized its second congress in Budapest between 1 and 3 July, 1971. The sudden death on the 27th of July, 1970, of Professor Max Reiss, the President of the Society, nearly caused a break in the preparation of the Congress, but with the invaluable help of Professor Donald H. Ford, Treasurer and Acting President, and Professor Francesca Brambilla, Secretary of the Society, the Organizing Committee surmounted the difíiculties. The Organizing Committee of the Congress set out five main topics discussed in five sections by invited lecturers and collective papers by registered discussants. Technically, the Congress was organized by the Hungárián Physiological Society in cooperation with the Federation of Hungárián Medical Societies in the building of the Hungárián Academy of Sciences. Thanks to the generosity of the Medical Section of the Hungárián Academy of Sciences we are able to publish the Proceedings of the Congress by the Publishing House of the Hungárián Academy of Sciences jointly with Plénum Press, New York. The Congress was sponsored by the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology, the Hungárián Academy of Sciences, the Hungárián Pharmaceutical Industry, the Factory of Electronic Measuring Instruments, the Upjohn Co., Kalamzoo, Michigan and the Wellcome Research Laboratory, Langley Court, Backenhom, Kent, England. On behalf of the Organizing Committee may I express our grateful thanks for their generous assistance which, despite many difíiculties, made the successful organization of an international congress possible. This volume contains the papers presented at the five sections of the Congress. K. Lissák President of the Congress
