Abstract

The Asian and Oceanian Association of Neurology (AOAN) was established in 19611 with the primary aim of promoting neurologic advancement via the exchange of ideas for the development of education programs in neurology. Another major aim of the association is to encourage scientific research geared toward neurologic diseases that are a major health burden in the Asian-Oceanian countries. Charles Poser (World Federation of Neurology [WFN]) and Shigeo Okinaka (Japan) were pivotal in the development of this association and the inaugural Asian Oceanian Congress of Neurology (AOCN) was held in Nippon Teshi Center, October 7–10, 1962, under the leadership of Professor Okinaka. Since then, various countries have hosted the AOCN (table). The 14th AOCN took place in Macao, China, March 2–5, 2014.
