SAN DIEGO, CA – The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor six early-career researchers whose work is transforming our understanding of the neural dynamics of memory, navigation, social behaviors, and disease states. Their work spans a wide range of neuroscience topics and methods, from nanometer-scale studies of synapse structure to high-flying demonstrations of the neural origins of social interactions. The awards will be presented during Neuroscience 2022, SfN's annual meeting and the world's largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

SAN DIEGO, CA – The Society of Neuroscience (SfN) will honor leading researchers whose groundbreaking work has revolutionized neuroscience — including the understanding of synaptic plasticity, neuroepigenetics, addiction, and network development — with this year’s Outstanding Career and Research Achievement Awards. The awards will be presented during SfN’s annual meeting.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Thanks to the generosity of donors to the Friends of SfN Fund, foundation and corporate supporters, and SfN Council, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is supporting a record 272 neuroscience trainees to attend Neuroscience 2022 through the Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) program. The awardees will present their research at a dedicated poster session, attend professional development workshops, and network with peers and senior researchers.

SAN DIEGO, CA — There is a need for new, effective treatments for mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. Researchers are expanding the field’s therapeutic toolbox by investigating the antidepressant and anxiolytic properties of drugs such as psilocybin and cannabis. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2022, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

SAN DIEGO, CA — Neurotechnology — the combination of neuroscience and technology — has the potential to both "decode" and shape brain activity, with important implications for future interventions in humans. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2022, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

SAN DIEGO, CA — Pregnancy and birthing have profound, often long-lasting, effects on brain physiology, mood and behavior. New findings on the neurobiology of the maternal experience were presented at Neuroscience 2022, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
