The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present five neuroscientists with this year’s Science Education and Outreach Awards, comprising the Award for Education in Neuroscience, the Science Educator Award, and the Next Generation Awards. The awards will be presented during SfN’s annual meeting, Neuroscience 2023.

The Meet-the-Experts Series will continue with live one-hour webinars after the conclusion of Neuroscience 2022, between December 2022 and September 2023.

SfN honors women with the Celebration of Women in Neuroscience event each year at the SfN annual meeting.

The integrity of the scientific mission is a collective responsibility, and the Society for Neuroscience plays an integral part in ensuring the public’s trust in the scientific enterprise. SfN takes seriously the role of leading the field in its commitment to professional and ethical conduct, and in light of a number of recent high-profile scientific misconduct cases, the importance of this commitment is more vital than ever to ensuring the public’s ongoing understanding of and trust in the scientific enterprise.

Thank you for attending Neuroscience 2019!

Each year, SfN's Program Committee invites leading scientists to give lectures on hot topics in neuroscience. Lectures will take place on October 5–9 in McCormick Place, Hall B. Real Time Captioning Services will be provided for all lectures in Hall B. There will be dedicated seating areas and screens that will display the captioned text. Select lectures will be streamed live from McCormick Place, and an on-demand recording will also be available after the session broadcast for 30 days after the meeting. Lectures taking place during Neuroscience 2024 are listed below.

Animal studies and human tissue experiments have demonstrated that traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes damage to the extracellular matrix (ECM). To test the hypothesis that TBI causes disruption of sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) in the ECM, we measured levels of sGAG in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, and urine, in patients with severe TBI in the acute postinjury period. Samples of CSF, blood, and urine were obtained within 72 h of injury in patients who received external ventricular drains as part of their treatment of severe TBI. Levels of chondroitin and heparan sGAGs were measured, along with their disaccharide constituents. Demographic information, presence of polytrauma, brain injury load, and distance of radiologically visible parenchymal injury from the ventricle were analyzed for correlation with total subtype sGAG levels. Levels were measured in 14 patients ranging in age from 17 to 90 years. CSF sGAG levels were variable among patients, with higher sGAG levels in plasma compared with CS...

As SfN begins celebrating its 50th anniversary, the importance of cutting-edge technology, rigorous basic research, and collaboration across disciplines and borders remains at the heart of discoveries in neuroscience.
