Abstract
The first annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience was held in 1971 in Washington, DC. Vernon Mountcastle, the first elected president of the fledgling society, planned every detail of the inaugural meeting and was at the front door to greet everyone into what would eventually become a major scientific discipline. The Society would grow rapidly as researchers in Departments of Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Psychiatry, Psychology, Neurology, Neuroethology, Neurochemistry, Neurobiology, and Neuroengineering found common ground in probing brains and behavior. Mountcastle, already a legend for his discoveries in neurophysiology, foresaw a future for neuroscience that transcended the traditional disciplines.
