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.

Biggest priorities, fears vary for each student.

Sponsored by NINDS, in collaboration with other institutes of NIH and NSF<br>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 a career award grant. We will discuss Do’s and Don’ts 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.

Showcase your company in SfN’s special printed issue of The Journal of Neuroscience (JNeurosci), the most-cited journal in the field. One thousand (1,000) copies of the special issue will be distributed free of charge to Neuroscience 2022 attendees at SfN’s booth in the San Diego Convention Center Exhibit Hall.

Objective: Ketamine provides a useful model for studying the physiopathology of schizophrenia as it induces and exacerbates schizophrenic symptoms in healthy individuals and patients, respectively. However, it remains unclear how ketamine affects neural...

Directed spatial attention in vision and audition enables heightened sensory acuity for events at known spatial locations. We asked whether a similar phenomenon exists in chemical sensing. Initially, we asked if humans have access to spatial information through chemosensation. We tested 33 subjects on a 16 trial left vs. right forced choice localization task. The odorants rose and strawberry (diluted 1:4 into proprionic acid) were generated by an air dilution olfactometer, and delivered via a divided nasal mask with separate left and right entry ports. As a group, subjects were slightly but significantly above chance in their ability to spatially localize the odorants (accuracy = 57.8%±2.7% t=2.841, p<0.01). This group-effect was carried by five subjects that were at accuracy = 78.8%±1.5%, t=51, p<0.001. To ask whether these subjects have directed spatial attention in chemosensation, we compared their odorant recognition accuracy and latency under two conditions: (1) cued trials where a pre-trial monitor a...
