The greatest chance of vanquishing neurological disease lies not with what is on the bench, but with who is working at the bench . Although great discoveries are aided by technological advance, not a single great discovery was ever made by a technology. Discovery comes from a scientist testing a

The White House pause on federal grants is unprecedented and highly disruptive to the entire scientific community. The Administration has frozen previously approved and authorized funds, including reimbursements for funds already spent. These disruptive choices will impact students and trainees who rely on grants, funded investigators, and patients waiting for critical discoveries and treatments, in addition to having an economic impact for employees and employers at universities and organizations that are economic drivers in the U.S.

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.

Understanding human cortical maturation is a central goal for developmental neuroscience. Significant advances toward this goal have come from two recent strands of in vivo structural magnetic resonance imaging research: (1) longitudinal study designs have revealed that factors such as sex, cognitive ability, and disease are often better related to variations in the tempo of anatomical change than to variations in anatomy at any one time point; (2) largely cross-sectional applications of new surface-based morphometry (SBM) methods have shown how the traditional focus on cortical volume (CV) can obscure information about the two evolutionarily and genetically distinct determinants of CV: cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA). Here, by combining these two strategies for the first time and applying SBM in >1250 longitudinally acquired brain scans from 647 healthy individuals aged 3–30 years, we deconstruct cortical development to reveal that distinct trajectories of anatomical change are hidden within...

A new reality and an old call for justice reshapes the SfN community.
