The federal government is currently operating under a short-term continuing resolution (CR) through December 16 as Congress was unable to negotiate final spending legislation for FY2023 before the end of the current fiscal year causing most federal agencies to remain funded at their FY2022 levels. Lawmakers will be out on recess through the November election and will need to reach an agreement when they return to avoid another CR. SfN is calling on Congress to pass federal funding legislation in a timely manner and not resort to long-term CRs that stagnate federal funding for research. Send your Representative and Senators a message via SfN's Advocacy Action Center and personalize it by including why robust and timely federal funding is critical to your research and necessary to advance our understanding of the brain<.

Two donors share their perspectives on supporting the next generation of neuroscientists through donations to the Friends of SfN Fund, the single largest source of charitable giving to the Society for Neuroscience.

Intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) provides a unique opportunity to record and stimulate neuronal populations in the human brain. A key step in neuroscience inference from iEEG is localizing the electrodes relative to individual subject anatomy and identified regions in brain atlases. We describe a new software tool, Your Advanced Electrode Localizer (YAEL), that provides an integrated solution for every step of the electrode localization process. YAEL is compatible with all common data formats to provide an easy-to-use, drop-in replacement for problematic existing workflows that require users to grapple with multiple programs and interfaces. YAEL's automatic extrapolation and interpolation functions speed localization, especially important in patients with many implanted stereotactic (sEEG) electrode shafts. The graphical user interface is presented in a web browser for broad compatibility and includes an interactive 3D viewer for easier localization of nearby sEEG contacts. After localization is ...
