History of PSJ

The Physiological Society of Japan (PSJ) was founded in 1922 when the first meeting was organized with contributions of 37 papers. Since then, the Society's scientific meeting has been held annually except in 1944 and 1945 when all social activities suffered from tremendous difficulties resulting from the World War II. The activities of PSJ were quickly revived after the end of the war, and the Society now has about  3,000 members. Its aim is to promote research in the physiological sciences by providing free communications to members and by actively commiting itself to the national and international scientific communities. Besides an Annual Meeting, the Society has frequent regional meetings in 8 major regions.
