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.

The Program and Exhibit Guide is distributed to all annual meeting attendees. Attendees refer to the Program and Exhibit Guide during and long after the meeting. Attendees are much more likely to visit an exhibit space based on an ad detailing how your product or service can improve their work.

This workshop will instruct participants on how to effectively write research summaries for a variety of audiences including the public. The intended audience for the workshop is early and mid-career neuroscientists who would like to enhance their skillset by learning how to summarize their studies for funding opportunities, public programs, job applications, websites, and elsewhere. It will also assist attendees in writing about controversial/challenging topics. At the conclusion of the workshop, each participant will have drafted a summary of their own research area.

Each year, SfN's Program Committee invites leading scientists to give lectures on hot topics in neuroscience. Lectures will take place on November 11-15 in Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Hall D. Real Time Captioning Services will be provided for all lectures in Hall D. There will be dedicated seating areas and screens that will display the captioned text. Select lectures will be streamed live from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and a recording will also be available on-demand after the session broadcast for 30 days after the meeting. Lectures taking place during Neuroscience 2023 are listed below.

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...

Social networking service (SNS) is the essential communication tool in the current life. The central problem of SNS in social science is whether SNS have good or bad mental effect. Past studies have offered mixed evidence about the good and bad side of ...
