The International Behavioral Neuroscience Society (IBNS) was founded in 1992 to fill the need for a focused meeting of the international research community to discuss issues important for the development and progress of this scientific discipline. In the 20 plus years since its founding, IBNS has become a hub for the dissemination of new research, development of important research collaborations, support and networking for young investigators, and for outreach and education to the community. This work is covered in part by offering special sessions during the meeting for late-breaking scientific discoveries from a range of disciplines as well as background and seniority level of the presenters. This special issue is a culmination of the late-breaking research presented at the IBNS 2014 meeting. The manuscripts of this Special Issue cover a variety of themes, including, stress, depression, the intersection of monoamine systems and behavior, substance use disorders, attentional processes, and awareness and acceptance of brain training. This wide range of topics and interest as well as range in seniority of presenters demonstrate the driving interest of IBNS in advancing knowledge in behavioral neuroscience as well as supporting scientists at every level.
国际行为神经科学协会（IBNS）成立于1992年，旨在满足国际研究界举行一次专门会议的需求，以讨论对这一科学学科的发展和进步至关重要的问题。自成立以来的20多年里，IBNS已成为传播新研究成果、开展重要研究合作、为青年研究人员提供支持和建立联系以及向社区进行推广和教育的中心。这项工作部分通过在会议期间提供特别会议来进行，这些特别会议涵盖来自一系列学科的最新科学发现以及演讲者的背景和资历水平。本期特刊是在IBNS 2014会议上发表的最新研究成果的汇总。本期特刊的稿件涵盖了各种主题，包括压力、抑郁、单胺系统与行为的交叉、物质使用障碍、注意力过程以及对大脑训练的认知和接受度。如此广泛的主题和兴趣以及演讲者资历的多样性，彰显了IBNS在推进行为神经科学知识以及支持各个层面科学家方面的强劲动力。
