  • Review abstract presentation formats: Neuroscience 2023 will feature in-person posters, in-person nanosymposia, and virtual posters. Learn more about presentation formats and virtual posters. 
  • Review registration information: Remember, payment of the $155 abstract handling fee does not include registration for the annual meeting. Abstract presenters must register in order to present at the annual meeting.  
  • Request a visa letter of invitation: If you will be traveling to Neuroscience 2023 from outside the United States, review visa information and start gathering required travel documents. 
  • Apply for a Trainee Professional Development Award: Undergraduate, graduate, and postdoc abstract submitters are eligible to win a Trainee Professional Development Award. Applications period: June 15-June 29.

Abstract Information

  • Notice of Abstract Acceptance

    Communications regarding abstracts are sent to presenting authors only. Other co-authors should ask their abstract's presenting author for information regarding their abstract. Presenting authors will be notified about their abstract's acceptance status in August. 

    Advance registration for members opens on July 12. Abstract presenters must register in order to present at the annual meeting.  Presenters may choose to wait to complete their registration until after they have received their abstract acceptance notification in August.

  • Presentation Formats

    Abstract presentations are accepted into either poster or nanosymposia sessions.

    • Watch on-demand the How to Organize a Nanosymposium webinar from May 22. 

    Virtual poster presentations are also available to presenters as a part of the SfN virtual component.

    Learn more

  • Trainee Professional Development Award

    The Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) recognizes undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows who demonstrate scientific merit and excellence in research.

    Applications will be accepted June 15–June 29. 

    Learn more

  • Sessioning Process

    Abstracts are reviewed and assigned to topically-based sessions by the SfN Program Committee.  Abstract submitters can use linking groups to suggest other presenters that they would like to be grouped with in a session. 

    Learn more

  • Scientific Rigor in Annual Meeting Presentations

    Accepted abstract presenters will be expected to transparently report a study’s experimental design and analytical methods in their poster or nanosymposium presentation at the annual meeting. Efforts to ensure scientific rigor include blinding, statistics, sample sizes, and replication. Error bars should be defined. Biological variables such as species, sex, age, strain, or cell line should be noted in the presentation, if applicable.

    Resources to Enhance Scientific Rigor

  • Themes and Topics

    Accepted abstracts are organized into topically-based scientific sessions and Theme J sessions. Abstracts are grouped together based on the theme and topic that abstract submitters select from the Themes and Topics list during abstract submission. Theme and topic selections help the Program Committee to group abstracts; they do not represent the titles of annual meeting sessions.

    Full List of Themes and Topics

  • Abstract Length

    The body of the abstract should be no more than 2,300 characters, including punctuation but not spaces. Use this range as a frame of reference, then count characters and revise accordingly.

    Use standard abbreviations. When using abbreviations for chemical compounds, spell it out in full for the first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Do not abbreviate compounds in the abstract title.

    Download Basic Research Abstract Template

  • Theme J Poster Format

    For those who submit a Theme J (History, Education, and Society) abstract, note that Theme J posters will encompass three half-days on the poster floor: Saturday p.m., Sunday a.m., and Sunday p.m. Posters should remain on display for these three half-days for casual viewing and be removed by Sunday, November 12 at 5 p.m. EST.

Embargo Policy

 

Information and data included in abstracts submitted for the SfN event are embargoed until the conclusion of the SfN presentation or press conference. Abstract presentations may not be presented at another meeting or published in an archival scientific publication before the scheduled SfN presentation date unless it is at an SfN-hosted event, such as a press conference, during Neuroscience 2023. All authors must abide by SfN's embargo policy.

Coverage of an abstract, lay summary, data, or supplemental material is strictly prohibited until the embargo is lifted. Promotion of general topics, speakers, or presentation times is permitted and encouraged within the stated guidelines.
