As attachment, it should be e-mailed to the abstract handling secretariat on the address enmeeting@hetnet.nl with 'EN2002 abstract' mentioned in the subject box. 
When mailed on floppy disc, it can be sent to Ms. Tini Eikelboom, Netherlands Institute for Brain Research, Meibergdreef 33, 1105 AZ Amsterdam ZO, The Netherlands. 
Receipt of your abstract will be confirmed by e-mail after proper import by the abstract handling secretariat.

indicate here the session number if are a speaker or
the poster session of your choice (and whether you opt for selection of an oral communication; for poster session Cogn&Beh only).

Please note once more that the body text of your abstract should not exceed 300 words, otherwise it will be published in truncated form. For abstracts of poster presentations it is very important to mark the poster session of choice: Endocrinology on Tuesday June 4, Neuroscience 1 on Wednesday June 5, Neuroscience 2 on Thursday June 6 or Cognition & Behavioral Neuroscience on Friday June 7.
For those presenting a poster in the session on Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience, there is an option for an oral communication (see choice on the Registration form). The program committee Cognitive & Behavioral Neurosciences will make a selection from the poster abstracts. You will receive an e-mail about this final selection which will be published on the Friday program page of this website before 1 May 2002.

Oral presentations
Oral presentation times are either 15, 30 or 45 min, all including discussion time. Presentation times are indicated between brackets on the program pages. The moderator of your session will help you keeping your presentation within the allotted time frame.
In all lecture rooms, beamer projectors but no laptops are available. The moderator of the session will provide the laptop facility. The organization would like to stimulate the use of PowerPoint presentations in all sessions since slide projectors are only available on request
Ideally all PowerPoint presentations of a session should be loaded on one laptop so that no re-plugging is needed between the talks. For smooth projections via the beamer, presenters are therefore requested to contact the moderator of the session
so that the files can be loaded on a single laptop computer. A CD-ROM will do, but make sure that the CD-ROM is 'closed' for uncomprised reading in all types of CD-ROM players.
All speakers that cannot escape presenting their data on slides are kindly requested to send a message to the meeting secretariat enmeeting@hetnet.nl, so that the organization can arrange a slide projector for your talk.

Poster awards
For the Endocrinology, Neuroscience 1/2 and Cogntion and Behavior poster sessions two posters will be awarded for presentation and quality. Poster selection committees appointed by the three scientific program committees will announce the winners in Poster award ceremonies that will be held during the dinner of 4 June (Endocrinology), after the 'Hersenstichting' lecture on 6 June (Neuroscience 1 and 2 combined) and after the plenary session before lunch on June 7 (Cognition and Behavior).
