The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor seven researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in neuroscience. The awards will be presented during Neuroscience 2024, SfN's annual meeting.

The Society of Neuroscience (SfN) will honor leading researchers whose groundbreaking work has transformed neuroscience — including the understanding of pain, addiction, stress, synaptic transport, vision, and sleep — with this year’s Outstanding Career and Research Achievement Awards. The awards will be presented during SfN’s annual meeting.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present six 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.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor nine early career researchers whose work will be presented during Neuroscience 2024, SfN's annual meeting.

SfN and The Grass Foundation announced a new leadership development series for early career neuroscientists focused on often-overlooked skills important for managing individuals, teams, and laboratories.

The Society for Neuroscience extends congratulations to its newly elected officers and councilors. The incoming leaders will begin their terms at Neuroscience 2024 in Chicago.

From October 5–9, thousands of neuroscientists from across the globe will convene in Chicago for the first time since 2019. Neuroscience 2024, the world’s largest annual meeting of researchers and clinicians exploring the brain and nervous system, will feature more than 10,500 presentations covering topics such as brain-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence, neurodegenerative disorders, treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders, and GLP-1 agonist effects on the brain.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has received $128,000 from the estate of James L. Roberts, PhD. With the funds, SfN Council voted to create a new long-term endowed fund, The James L. Roberts Fund, and will use the income from its investments to create and perpetually fund James L. Roberts Trainee Professional Development Awards (TPDAs) beginning at Neuroscience 2024.

Nancy Kanwisher, Doris Tsao, and Winrich Freiwald have been awarded the 2024 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience. The award recognizes their discovery of a specialized system within the brain to recognize faces.

SfN member Yang Dan, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and professor of Neurobiology, University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded the 2024 Peter Seeburg Integrative Neuroscience Prize for her ground-breaking research on elucidating the brain circuits that control behavior with a special emphasis on those neuronal networks that control sleep.
