The submission deadline for regular abstracts was closed on November 5th. However, we recognize that there may be recent developments in research that some would like to present. To facilitate discussions based on the latest findings, we are now inviting Late-Breaking Abstracts. We look forward to your submission.
LBA Submission Guidelines:
1) The presentation format will be poster presentations only. Oral presentations will not be accepted.
2) LBA will not be included in the meeting program but will be included in the Confit (online abstracts) and PDF of the English abstract booklet.

1. Submission Period
  December 16, 2024 – January 14, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (Japan time)
2. Criteria
The first and presenting author must be a member of the Physiological Society of Japan (PSJ), the Japanese Association of Anatomists (JAA), or the Japanese Pharmacological Society (JPS). If you are not currently a member of any of these societies and wish to present your paper as the first author at the meeting, please apply for membership.
However, symposium speakers are not required to be members of these societies.

For the Japanese Association of Anatomists, undergraduate students interested in presenting a poster are welcome to do so, even if they are not members.
*When submitting your abstract, please select the Japanese Association of Anatomists as your affiliated society and enter “000000” for the membership number.

The Physiological Society of Japan (PSJ) also offers “Temporary Membership,” which allows non-members to submit papers for regular presentations by becoming temporary members during the valid period of this membership.
For more information on “Temporary Membership,” please visit: http://physiology.jp/society/guide/temporary/

Please note that, except for society-organized symposia, presenters in symposia are not eligible to be the first authors of a regular abstract. Each person can present only one regular abstract as the first author.
