The Neuroscience Society of Nigeria (NSN) is a non-profit, non-governmental, non-political, scientific organization registered in Nigeria whose major function is to promote teaching and research in Neuroscience in Nigeria.
The idea to start NSN was conceived in Kenya at the conference of Society for Neuroscientists of Africa (SONA). The first Conference was held in Ahmadu Bello University in 1990. The first President of the Society was Professor S. A. Asala of Ahmadu Bello University but now with the University of Abuja.
