The SSN annual meeting 2006 took place in Basel on January 28th, in collaboration with the Swiss Society for Neuroradiology. The meeting was quite successful, as reflected by a large attendance (450 participants and 306 poster presentations). For the first time, abstracts for poster presentations were submitted on-line, a procedure that was successful although some slight improvements will be introduced for our future annual meetings. A highly important event of the meeting in Basel was the Ceremony in the Honor of the First “Honorary Member” of the SSN, our distinguished colleague Professor K. Akert from Zürich, who conducted a remarkable research in the field of Neuroscience and, in addition, has been highly active for the promotion of Brain Research in Switzerland during several decades. Professor Akert was not only attending the ceremony, but also gave a speech about his point of view of a successful scientific career.
