    Best Practice Training Resources for Neuroscience Institutions

    SfN’s “Best Practices in Neuroscience Training” series enhances an institution’s ability to address difficult training challenges in five core topics.

  • Ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the visual cortex is maintained throughout life in offspring of mice raised in an enriched environment (bottom) compared to those raised in a standard cage (top). Adapted from Kalogeraki et al., 2019.
    New Research: Parent-to-Offspring Brain Plasticity; Less Sleep, More Pain

    Enriched environments may have a transgenerational influence on brain plasticity, while sleep deprivation increases sensitivity to pain according to new studies published in eNeuro and JNeurosci.

  • Pamphlets and other materials about increasing brain awareness at an Annual Meeting exhibit booth
    Inspiring Year-Round Brain Awareness

    Share the excitement of brain science with students and the public year-round with resources available through the Brain Awareness Campaign.
