Welcome

The Molecular and Cellular Cognition Society (MCCS) is an international organization intended to facilitate interchanges among laboratories in the field of Molecular and Cellular Cognition. The other two key goals of the Society are to promote the study of the molecular and cellular basis of cognitive function, and to educate the general public on key findings in the field, including their limitations and implications for health and society.

New Leadership for the Molecular and Cellular Cogniton Society

The MCCS Council appointed three new Officers for the leadership of  MCCS. Cristina Alberini (Mount Sinai) was appointed President, Eric Klann (NYU) Treasurer and Isabelle Mansuy (University/ETH Zurich) Secretary. Scott Small (Columbia) and Satoshi Kida (Japan) are newly appointed members of the MCCS Council.
