An abstract is a short summary of your study. It is a highly-structured writing exercise. Like a paper, it should contain an introduction, methods, results, and conclusions (although these actual headings are not required). The abstract should be written as a single paragraph. Abstracts have a proscribed length—for the SfN annual meeting, the body of the abstract should be no more than 2,300 characters, including punctuation but not spaces. This makes them deceptively difficult to write, because they need to convey a lot of information in a very small space. If done well, it makes the reader want to learn more about your research. Two example abstracts that incorporate all the key components and meet all the criteria can be found below.

The Meet-the-Experts Series will continue with live one-hour webinars after the conclusion of Neuroscience 2023, between December 2023 and September 2024.

Support contributed by NINDS, in collaboration with other institutes of NIH and NSF This workshop is for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and beginning faculty at all stages of training and career development. If you want information on NIH and NSF funding opportunities and how to go about getting funded, this workshop is for you. There will be brief presentations on the various fellowships and career development awards available. Program and Review staff from NIH and NSF will also hold roundtable discussions on how to write a fellowship or career award grant. We will discuss the Do's and Dont's of how to apply, good grantsmanship, picking the appropriate mentor/sponsor, what to expect from review, and other issues. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know NIH and NSF staff, establish contacts, and get ahead. Registration is not required, and all are welcome.

This social is intended to bring together a variety of researchers from different career stages who are working on brain and retina organoids. It is an opportunity for attendees to network and share experiences in this emerging area of study. There will be brief remarks from experts who will be asked to highlight some of the recent notable advances in this exciting field.

After years of growth in the NIH budget, we are now facing leaner times. We are also seeing an increasing willingness of some politicians, religious leaders and pressure groups to inappropriately judge and influence the scientific agenda either by selectively interpreting findings to suit certain positions or by withdrawing or restricting funding for areas they do not want to see develop. In this challenging climate, public understanding of neuroscience has never been more important. Although public understanding of science does not in and of itself guarantee support for science, it does make it more difficult for misinformation and bias to creep in. It also gives rise to a greater appreciation for what science can do for society and a more informed and nuanced approach to the pronouncements, expectations and concerns presented by the media and others. But the science community cannot assume that someone else will do the educating and informing. This symposium will use speakers of very different background...
