OMV-SfN's 2007 Neuroscience Day will be held Monday, April 30, at the Vontz Center and adjacent Kingsgate Marriot Conference Center at the University of Cincinnati. Tomas Hökfelt, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, will present the 2007 Grass Lecture, "Three Decades with Three Swedish Neuropeptides: Focus on Pain and Depression." Professor Hökfelt is an internationally renowned neuroscientist and among the most highly cited scientists in the world. He pioneered the fields of both catecholamine and neuropeptide research in the nervous system. During the past few years, his work has focused on two "Swedish" neuropeptides, galanin and NPY, and their role in pain and depression and relevance for possible therapeutic strategies.
