review process are at http://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2012-abstract-submission

Authors wishing to give an oral presentation are required also to submit a
1-3-page summary (for the OCNS reviewers only) describing the nature, scope and
main results of the work in more detail. The summaries will be reviewed to
construct the oral program. All submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail.

After acceptance the presenting author has to register for the meeting before
the abstract will be included in the program or online publication. Presenting
authors can submit maximum one abstract except for OCNS members who can submit
two abstracts.

OPEN ACCESS, CITABLE ABSTRACT PUBLICATION:

The formatted abstracts will again be published as a Supplement to the online
journal BMC Neuroscience. The supplement is citable, indexed by PubMed, and
open access.

At least one author must register for CNS*2012 by the early registration
deadline of May 31, 2012 for the abstract to be published and included in the
program book. Abstracts from previous CNS meetings are available at
http://www.cnsorg.org/publications

AWARDS:

A limited number of merit based travel grants, awarded based on review of
abstracts and 1-3 page summaries by the program committee, will be available to
students and postdocs. Women and underrepresented minorities in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines are particularly
encouraged to apply. Applications will be due February 29, 2012. See
instructions for requesting travel awards at
http://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2012-travel-awards

Recipients of travel grants will be notified by May 5, 2012.
