As organizations representing a wide range of scientific, engineering, and mathematical disciplines, we will not be deterred by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on race considerations in college and university admissions.

Thank you for attending #SfN23

Nanosymposia offer abstract submitters an innovative way to create and propose slide-based sessions similar to a symposium. Just like poster presenters, those seeking a nanosymposium can link presentations together with colleagues to form their own session. A nanosymposium consists of abstracts from multiple labs with a common topical interest.

As part of its Environmental Commitment at the annual meeting, SfN leads the following green initiatives:

Navigation by path integration requires that self-motion cues be used to keep track of the translatory and rotatory components of a journey so that one’s position with respect to a starting location may be updated accurately. We hypothesized that ideothetic information from the optic flow field alone is sufficient for navigation. Sixty-one humans actively explored with a joystick a computer generated virtual environment. Then, after removal of all local and distal visual landmarks, participants estimated their position relative to previously visited locations during either passive linear displacement or angular rotation. Participants were able to estimate their location with respect to targets in a “heads-down” journey during which the only continuous self-motion cue available was the speed of motion of the ground. Estimation errors varied significantly as a function of distance to target, the speed of movement and the number of landmarks available at the beginning of the journey. Estimation errors and the...

The success of the neuroscience field requires the inclusion of diverse voices and perspectives at all levels.

As the science community faces some skepticism of our work and an unpredictable political environment, we should strive to remind ourselves why we became scientists in the first place, remember the joy of science, and share that joy and enthusiasm with the public.

An effective poster is self-contained and self-explanatory. Viewers can proceed on their own while leaving the author free to discuss points raised in inquiry.
