Affective Neuroscience is a growing field of clinical and scientific interest. Up to now, there are, to my knowledge, only two scientific societies in this field. The ICANS – International College of Affective Neuroscience that was born in 2009 in Europe and is addressed to clincians and scientists living and working all over the world and the Social & Affective Neuroscience Society that was recently founded in the United States and had the Annual Meeting in October 2009. The surprising and main characteristic of these Scientific Societies is to be really new, growing, and attractive for young people who are looking for a discipline in psichiatry and in psychology really projected to the future.
