To all the past and present members of the Neurophysiology and Experimental Neuroethology Laboratory (LNNE) at the Physiology Department at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School at the University of São Paulo, Brasil, to whom the current International Symposium NEWroscience 2023 is dedicated, because of the 35th celebration of the foundation of LNNE. As in other opportunities, in addition to the small group of Faculty members involved in the organization of this event, LNNE members, both students and technical staff, are those who compose the various committees responsible for this enormous endeavor.

To all the members of the Departments of Physiology, Psychobiology and Neuroscience and Behavioral Science and their corresponding Graduate Programs, respectively, in Physiology, Psychobiology and Neurology/Neuroscience, for their continuous support to the LNNE Academic, Scientific and Outreach (Neuro-Art) activities, over almost four decades. To the Brazilian Research Foundations FAPESP, CNPq, CAPES, FAEPA for their financial support with grants and fellowships. Thanks always to the Liga Brasileira de Epilepsia (LBE), Sociedade Brasileira de Fisiologia (SBFis), Sociedade Brasileira de Neurociências e Comportamento (SBNeC), Federação Brasileira de Sociedades de Biologia Experimental (FESBE), Colegio Colombiano de Neurociencias (COLNE), International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), Dana Foundation for Brain Initiatives – Brain Awareness Week.

To Professor Steve C. Schachter, from University of Harvard, Founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Epilepsy & Behavior (E&B) – Elsevier. Thanks to his vision and generosity, we developed the NEWroscience series (every five years) since 2008 (www.sciencedirect.com/journal/epilepsy-and-behavior/vol/14/issue/1/suppl/S1), as a Supplement and in the following every 5 years with the successful volumes NEWroscience 2013 (www.sciencedirect.com/journal/epilepsy-and-behavior/vol/38/suppl/C), 2018 (www.sciencedirect.com/journal/epilepsy-and-behavior/vol/121/part/PB).

The current International Symposium NEWroscience 2023 and the associated Special Issue of Epilepsy & Behavior with 30 articles/reviews written by the invited speakers (15 female scientists and 15 male scientists from the 5 continents; details in the program) of the Conference are also supported by Professor Marco Mula from University of London as the current Editor-in-Chief of Epilepsy & Behavior and obviously by Elsevier.

This event is a realization of the Science, Arts, Education and Society – ScienArtES – Network from the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEA) at the Campus of Ribeirão Preto at the University of São Paulo. Thanks to the whole team of the IEA who made this event possible and available throughout its site, digital and social media channels. A final thanks to the Ribeirão Preto Law School at the University of São Paulo, in the name of its Director and staff, for allowing us to celebrate this event in its excellent Main Auditorium.
