Resilience to stress can be measured and controlled in the brain and body
Reports and Proceedings
Neuroscience researchers and advocates from around the world will gather at Neuroscience 2021, the reimagined annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, online from November 8–11 to share the latest developments in brain research and engage with leaders in the field.
Check back in the coming weeks for updates and additional press content from Neuroscience 2021.
Recent research has begun to identify the neural mechanisms in stress responses that may lead to the development of resilience. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
New findings from studies in both people and animals are revealing clues about how sensory information and cognitive processes interact in the brain to produce our perception of the world. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
The cluster of neurological symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19, suggests the virus can enter the brain and affect neural function. New findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
Advanced techniques in cellular analysis are contributing to a better understanding of how brain immune cells, also known as microglia, contribute to healthy function and dysregulation in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A press conference featuring unpublished research from SfN journals eNeuro and the Journal of Neuroscience will take place Monday, November 1, 2021 at 1 p.m. EST. All three papers are under embargo until Wednesday, November 3, noon EST.
The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) gratefully acknowledges Fujifilm as the Platinum sponsor for SfN’s 50th annual meeting, Neuroscience 2021. Taking place November 8–11, 2021 in an entirely virtual format, Neuroscience 2021 is accessible from around the world, showcasing cutting-edge science across the breadth of neuroscience research. The meeting features a diverse lineup of speakers and sessions, with over 9,000 presenters, 22 lectures, 54 symposia and minisymposia, seven featured panels, and nearly 1,000 poster sessions.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Social isolation rewires the brain in myriad ways, potentially leading to anxiety, depression, addiction, and other behavioral changes. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
The brain uses a shared mechanism for combining words from a single language and for combining words from two different languages, a team of neuroscientists has discovered. Its findings indicate that language switching is natural for those who are bilingual because the brain has a mechanism that does not detect that the language has switched, allowing for a seamless transition in comprehending more than one language at once.
