abstract: The 17th Annual Meeting of American Neuropsychiatric Association was held in La Jolla Torrey Pines, San Diego, California, U.S.A., on February 18-21, 2006. The meeting was jointly sponsored by the Center for Continuing Medical Education (CME), the Ohio State University Medical Center and the American Neuropsychiatric Association. The primary objectives of the meeting were to define and describe contributions of cognitive neuroscience, the relevance of sleep disorders to neuropsychiatry and assessment of malingering in clinical evaluation. The report provides a comprehensive outlook and addresses several aspects of neuropsychiatry such as behavioral neurology, amnesia, cognitive correlates of functional status, emotions, neuropsychiatry of sleep and related disorders, insomnia, narcolepsy and other disorders, all strongly linked with other areas of science. The conference was made up of the familiar mix of symposia, poster presentations, workshop and sociocultural programs.
