Advancing the molecular understanding of the nervous system
Founded in 1965, the International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) is a global nonprofit scientific society dedicated to advancing neurochemistry — the study of the molecular basis of nervous system function. ISN connects researchers and clinicians worldwide to promote research, education, and collaboration in molecular neuroscience. Through international conferences, grants, and the Journal of Neurochemistry, ISN supports the global neurochemistry community at every career stage.
ISN membership connects you to an international network of scientists in neurochemistry and molecular neuroscience. Members receive reduced conference registration fees, eligibility for research grants and awards, and free online access to the Journal of Neurochemistry. With leadership opportunities and access to the ISN member directory, membership supports your research and career development.
ISN provides targeted grants to support career development, international laboratory exchange, and the organisation of neurochemistry conferences and schools worldwide. From early-career researchers establishing independence to scientific conferences that foster collaboration, ISN funding strengthens research, training, and global scientific exchange.
The Journal of Neurochemistry is the official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Neurochemistry, publishing high-quality research across molecular, cellular and biochemical neuroscience. With a strong Impact Factor of 4.0 and a top-quartile ranking in its subject categories, the journal combines rigorous review with broad visibility in the scientific community. Discover impactful research and insights shaping the molecular understanding of nervous system function.
