2015 Emerging Science Program Schedule
Following is the schedule of Emerging Science abstracts to be presented at the 2015 AAN Annual
Meeting. Abstracts qualify for Emerging Science presentations by having key aspects of research
conducted after the October 27th abstract submission deadline and must be new and of sufficient
scientific importance to warrant expedited presentation and publication.
The Science Committee is committed to presenting the best neuroscientific research at the Annual
Meeting so we are excited to announce that we are accepting 14 abstracts for dual presentation this
year and 7 abstracts as poster presentations. The 14 dual presentation abstracts will be featured in data
blitz format during the first 45 minutes of the Emerging Science Platform session from 6:15 p.m. to 7:00
p.m., followed by poster presentations in the same room from 7:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. A total of 7 poster
presentation abstracts will be included in Poster Session 4 on Wednesday, April 22 from 7:30 a.m. to
12:00 p.m.
