Yes. As a service to annual meeting registrants, SfN provides free wireless Internet access in designated areas of the McCormick Place Convention Center during Neuroscience 2019. SfN will also provide support for wireless users. Feel free to browse the Web, communicate with your colleagues, or use it for any other Internet activity. Consider the security implications of using the wireless network and protect your device appropriately. We expect thousands of attendees to use the system at any given time, so please refrain from using bandwidth-intensive applications (e.g. video and audio streaming, app downloads, transferring large files, etc.) to prevent your wireless speed from slowing to a crawl. Go to SfN.org/wireless for instructions.

Interested in starting or reactivating a chapter? First visit SfN's Chapter Directory to determine whether there is a chapter in your area. If there is no chapter in your area, you may submit a petition to start a new chapter. In the event the local chapter is inactive, you may reactivate the existing chapter.

To ensure robust funding for biomedical research and favorable policies grounded in facts, scientists must become their own advocates and engage with their lawmakers.

Meet your new elected officials

SfN’s Pre-Conference Sessions occur before the official start of the annual meeting and provide an opportunity to learn from global experts on emerging scientific topics and techniques, advances in our understanding of neurobiological diseases, and rigorous and responsible conduct of scientific research. Space is limited and registration is required for Friday’s Short Courses. To attend, add the appropriate course to your annual meeting registration. Attendees of Meet the Experts sessions must be registered for the annual meeting but no separate registration or fee is required for these Saturday morning sessions. Space is limited and attendees are encouraged to arrive early for their priority session.

SfN committees, programs, and working groups, may work with many other related scientific, advocacy, governmental, and public outreach organizations. Individual SfN members also work with scientific subspecialty and patient advocacy groups as part of their commitment to the field and public outreach. Read SfN publications and the website for updates on important work throughout the international neuroscience community.

Research released today highlights advances in the use of CRISPR-Cas9 and human induced pluripotent stem cell technologies to identify novel therapeutic targets for neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and addiction. The studies were presented at Neuroscience 2017, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
