Abstract

News The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Stefan W. Hell, Eric Betzig and William E. Moerner for the development of a superresolution imaging technique, STED (stimulated emission depletion). The technique opens up new possibilities in imaging nanostructures, and has been featured in a review article in the Journal of Neurochemistry, entitled “STED microscopy of living cells ‐ new frontiers in membrane and neurobiology” by Christian Eggeling, Kathrin I. Willig and Francisco J. Barrantes: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jnc.12243/abstract A Virtual Issue on Neuroinflammation in Nervous System Disorders: Diversity in Insults and Outcomes, edited by Deputy Chief Editor Tammy Kielian (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1471-4159/homepage/virtual_issues.htm#neuroinflammation), will shortly be followed by a Special Issue on neuroinflammation. The Journal of Neurochemistry now has a new page for special Article Series and/or reviews solicited at ISN meetings such as the 5th Special ISN Conference 2012. The Committee for Aid and Education in Neurochemistry (CAEN) provides funds for travelling to another laboratory to develop new technical or conceptual expertise, purchasing research supplies, attending workshops/training courses/satellite meetings or organizing a workshop/small school. The ISN‐CAEN application deadlines for this year are on April 30, August 31 and December 31.
