title: European Neuroendocrine Association--ninth meeting. 3-7 September 1999, Odense, Denmark.
abstract: The Ninth Meeting and Workshops of the European Neuroendocrine Association (ENEA) were held in Odense, Denmark. Training workshops covering topics of interest to basic and clinical neuroendocrinologists occupied the first two days of the meeting; on the remaining 3 days, sessions were organized into meet-the professor sessions, plenary lectures, symposia, and free oral and poster communications. The symposia covered most of the principal areas of neuroendocrinology which have important clinical implications (regulation of growth and metabolism, neuroendocrine tumors, hypogonadism, and hormone resistance syndromes), but some symposia covered more basic research in the field (neuroendocrinology of behavior, mutant mouse models, neuronal plasticity and the molecular biology of pituitary tumors). Papers in the free communication sessions generally interphased well with the themes of the symposia.
