Send your U.S. representative and senators a message using SfN’s Advocacy Action Center and personalize it by stating why inadequate research funding and a government shutdown would be detrimental to your own work as a neuroscientist. It is essential Congress demonstrates its commitment to scientific research and discovery by providing the highest possible funding levels for federal science agencies and programs in FY 2024. We urge you to reach out to your legislators now, as Congress has until September 30 to pass a continuing resolution and avoid a government shutdown which would have harmful effects on research agencies and programs. Join fellow NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect neuroscience research funding and avoid a government shutdown.

Tell Congress to Pass Appropriations For FY2022 And Reject Future CRs Join your fellow NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to reject the use of continuing resolutions by passing FY2022 appropriations packages before the end of current funding. Send your Representative and Senators a message via SfN’s Advocacy Action Center and personalize it by including why predictable funding for biomedical research is important to you.

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.

Thank you for attending Neuroscience 2022.

Neurons in the rat hippocampus signal current location by firing in restricted areas called place fields. During goal-directed tasks in mazes, place fields can also encode past and future positions through journey-dependent activity, which could guide hippocampus-dependent behavior and underlie other temporally extended memories, such as autobiographical recollections. The relevance of journey-dependent activity for hippocampal-dependent memory, however, is not well understood. To further investigate the relationship between hippocampal journey-dependent activity and memory, we compared neural firing in rats performing two mnemonically distinct but behaviorally identical tasks in the plus maze: a hippocampus-dependent spatial navigation task and a hippocampus-independent cue response task. While place, prospective, and retrospective coding reflected temporally extended behavioral episodes in both tasks, memory strategy altered coding differently before and after the choice point. Before the choice point, w...
