The latest developments in the field of functional brain imaging the method by which brain activity can be observed in awake, behaving organisms including human beings, will be presented at the annual meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City, June 18-22, 2003. The full span of neuroscience applications will be covered, ranging from research on perception, cognition, emotion, development and aging to clinical research on brain disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's Disease. In addition to 1600+ poster presentations, four member-initiated symposia, and six keynote lectures preceding paper platform sessions, the meeting will include a special plenary lecture by Eric Kandel, 2000 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, and a presidential symposium on integration of neuroimaging with computer modeling of brain function.

The full meeting program and all of the abstracts are available on our website at www.humanbrainmapping.org/NYC2003. Members of the press may attend the meeting at no charge by providing proper press credentials at check-in. Our registration desk will be located on the 5th floor of the Marriott Marquis Hotel and will be open 7:00-18:00 each day. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Anderson, Executive Director at 952-646-2029 or info@humanbrainmapping.org.

Scientific Poster Highlights (Embargoed until date of presentation):

Poster #410 Neural Systems Associated With Perception of One's Own Child: An fMRI Study- To be presented June

This study investigates the response to familiar faces associated with a high degree of emotional valence. Using fMRI, neurophysiological responses were measured in mothers while they were looking at pictures of their own child, friends of their child, unfamiliar children and unfamiliar adults. Probably
