This special issue of Geroscience consists of the Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Symposium on the Neurobiology and Neuroendocrinology of Aging (http://www.neurobiology-and-neuroendocrinology-ofaging.org/) held in Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria at the Gastof Hotel Lamm, July 15-20, 2018. The previous 13 Symposia in this series have been held biennially at the same site since 1992 and published as full proceedings (Journal of Reproduction and Fertility Suppl. 46, 1993; Experimental Gerontology, 30 (3/4) 1995; 32 (4/5) 1997 ; 33 (7/8) 1998; 35 (9/10) 2000; 38 (1-2) 2003; 39 (1112) 2004; 42 (1-2) 2007; 44 (1-3) 2009; 46 (2-3) 2011; 48 (7) 2013; 68 2015; and 94 2017). The purpose of the Symposia is to integrate recent information derived from the study of neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, genetics, animal models and degenerative CNS diseases with the fundamental issue of the nature of the aging process. The Fifteenth Symposium is scheduled for 2021. Twenty-three individuals presented talks at the Symposium along with seven short talks delivered by junior investigators that were chosen from the abstracts. Seventeen of their manuscripts are collected here, in alphabetical order by the presenter (Table 1- List of papers in special issue).
