All session presenters with prerecorded sessions will record at the same time between October 1 and October 22. During the virtual meeting, the presentation recording will be broadcast at the scheduled session time. A text chat will appear next to the video. You will be in the text chat answering questions from the audience during the video broadcast.

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.

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.

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...

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...
