Major activities
The society is a registered charity in the United Kingdom (no 1002014) whose aims are to promote learning and research into neuroendocrinology: the interplay between the endocrine and nervous systems that control important body functions and behaviour. The ultimate aim of this research is to provide therapies for the many neuroendocrine diseases and disorders that may develop throughout life, and to develop methods to beneficially regulate normal neuroendocrine function in humans and animals. The society offers educational resources and networking opportunities to support members at all stages of their career.
Membership
Ordinary membership is open to researchers, clinicians and students in the field of neuroendocrinology, endocrinology and related disciplines. Although based in the UK, the BSN welcomes participation from around the world. Honorary membership is awarded by the executive committee of the society to persons of special distinction in neuroendocrinology.
Mortyn Jones Lectureship
The British Society for Neuroendocrinology awards annually the Mortyn Jones Lectureship to a researcher who has made a major contribution to neuroendocrine research.
