NEURO2026

Late-Breaking Abstracts

It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have received many abstracts from researchers by February 12 deadline. However, we assume that there are some researchers who are making advances in their research even after the deadline.
We consider it to be of great importance to have discussions based on recent research achievements and thus make a call for Late-Breaking Abstracts (LBA).
Submit LBA and present your latest research developments in Kobe!
LBAs are accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. Please kindly understand that call for LBAs will be closed as soon as it reaches maximum number of submissions. Early submission would be recommended.

6. How to Submit your Abstract

1) Registration process (create an account, register for the meeting, and submit an abstract)

Please click on the “Registration System” button at the bottom of this page to create an account and register for the meeting. After your registration is completed, you will be able to continue to submit your abstract.
To view or modify what you have entered, you need to log in to the system. Please be sure to keep your account information (login ID and password) until acceptance/non-acceptance of your abstract is notified.
We kindly ask for your understanding that we are unable to assist with inquiries related to login IDs and passwords for security reasons.

2) Abstract submission flow: from entry to completion

  • Follow the instructions on the abstract submission screen and enter the required information.
  • Once your submission is completed, a confirmation email will be sent automatically. If you have not received the email within 60 minutes, your abstract may not successfully be registered to the system, so please submit your abstract once again. We also ask you to check your spam folder for the confirmation email.
  • Depending on your PC environment, machine-dependent characters may not be displayed correctly in the confirmation email. If they are displayed correctly on the registration system, though, there is no problem.

3) Character limit

The abstract body is limited to 1,500-2,500 characters, including spaces, special characters, symbols, and HTML tags that are used for text formatting.
To count characters, please click “body” to select all text, copy, click on the “Characters Counter” button, and paste the text into the counter box. Please note that abstracts with more than 2,500 characters will not be accepted.

4) Special characters and text formatting

When you wish to use special characters or text formatting, please copy and paste what you need from the list of available symbols being displayed in another window on the abstract submission screen.

 

7. Viewing/Modifying Submitted Abstracts

  • You can view or modify your submitted abstract only during the LBA submission period. Please login to the registration system and make necessary changes.
  • Once the call for LBA is closed, you will not be able to modify any registered information, including the abstract text, author names (both first author and co-authors), or affiliations. No exceptions will be made, regardless of the circumstances.
  • Submitted abstracts will not be proofread in principle. The registered information will be published on the Abstract browsing system as entered, so the submitting author is responsible for ensuring that all affiliations and co-authors are correctly listed without omissions.

 

8. Abstract Acceptance Notification

Acceptance/non-acceptance of abstracts will be notified via email in early April after the program is fixed. The acceptance notification includes information such as presentation date and time, format, and room.
The poster panel size will be approximately W150 cm X H210 cm (tentative). We recommend using an A0-size poster.
The decision about the acceptance/non-acceptance of abstracts should rest with the Program Committee. Please note that your abstract may not be accepted.

 

9. Important Notes

  • Accepted abstracts will be published in the NEURO2026 Meeting Planner in early July, before the meeting. The exact date will be announced on our website or by mail magazines.
  • When you need a “Proving Document for Seeking Application for Provision of Exceptions to Lack of Novelty of Invention” under the provisions of Article 30 of the Patent Act, please contact the meeting secretariat ( neuro2026@aeplan.co.jp ).
