New for 2021, SfN offers a variety of sponsorship tiers for your organization to raise visibility and increase engagement with the worldwide neuroscience community participating in the fully virtual Neuroscience 2021, November 8-11.

An understanding of how the brain functions and endows human beings with the capacity to know, to feel, and to value requires an interdisciplinary effort. The Neuroscience Program at Davidson College provides students with diverse state-of-the-art courses and research opportunities. Neuroscience students take a comprehensive mix of courses in biology, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, and philosophy. Davidson provides a welcoming and collaborative environment to all students interested in joining the quest to reveal the workings of the nervous system. Faculty engage students in the journey of discovery from the molecular underpinnings of nervous system function to the cognitive and affective outcomes of neural activity. Students have opportunities to become involved in research on brain plasticity, biological basis of drug abuse, neural development, and the molecular mechanisms underlying axonal regeneration. The Neuroscience Program models how conventional boundaries separating disciplines appearing to ...

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) welcomes this opportunity to thank and celebrate and honor our community of volunteers during National Volunteer Week. Your time and effort are paramount to creating a scientific community that supports SfN’s mission of furthering the understanding of the brain and nervous system through meaningful discovery and exchange, dissemination of information, and advocacy and outreach efforts. This week affords us a special opportunity to thank you for your outstanding contributions that help strengthen the Society and the greater scientific enterprise even during challenging times.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present six neuroscientists with this year’s Science Education and Outreach Awards, comprising the Award for Education in Neuroscience, the Science Educator Award, and the Next Generation Awards. The awards will be presented during SfN’s annual meeting.

Paid registration is required for Short Courses. To attend, add the appropriate course to your annual meeting registration.

Since Newton, the scientific literature has expanded exponentially, with an estimated growth rate of ∼5% per year since 1950 (Bornmann et al., 2021). This pace of growth is daunting. It means that half of all scientific papers were published in the last 15 years and that any scientist older than 48 has been alive for the publication of over 90% of the entire scientific literature. Of perhaps some comfort, the consistency of exponential growth in science means that every generation of scientist has looked back in awe (and despair?) at a burgeoning literature: > Science has always been modern; it has always been exploding into the population, always on the brink of expansive revolution. Scientists have always felt themselves to be awash in a sea of scientific literature …. (De Solla Price, 1963, p. 15) If there is a corollary to the (so far) steady growth of science, it is steady improvement. Since Bacon’s original call to weed …
