Summer 2019

  • Diane Lipscombe
    Rigorous Basic Science is the Foundation of Great Discoveries at Neuroscience 2019

    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.

  • The poster floor at Neuroscience 2018
    Register for the World’s Largest Neuroscience Gathering

    Share your research, network with leading neuroscientists, and celebrate your colleagues' work at Neuroscience 2019 Oct. 19–23 in Chicago.

  • Schematic illustration of the experimental setup. The ∼1-mm-thick aluminum panels of the electrically-grounded Faraday shielding provides an electromagnetically “quiet” environment. Three orthogonal sets of square coils ∼2 m on edge, following the design of Merritt et al. (1983), allow the ambient geomagnetic field to be altered around the participant’s head with high spatial uniformity; double-wrapping provides an active-sham for blinding of experimental conditions (Kirschvink, 1992b). Acoustic panels on the wall help reduce external noise from the building air ventilation system as well as internal noise due to echoing. A non-magnetic chair is supported on an elevated wooden base isolated from direct contact with the magnetic coils. The battery-powered EEG is located on a stool behind the participant and communicates with the recording computer via an optical fiber cable to a control room ∼20 m away.
    New Research: Humans May Sense Magnetic Fields; Remembering to Forget

    Humans subconsciously respond to geomagnetic fields, and memory activation may be the key to intentional forgetting according to two studies published in JNeurosci and eNeuro.

    Q&A: HEAL Initiative Leaders Address Approaches to the Opioid Crisis

    Rebecca Baker, Walter J. Koroshetz, and Nora Volkow discuss addressing the immediate and long-term challenges of the opioid crisis through the Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL).

  • Sandro Da Mesquita
    Inside Neuroscience: Linking Dementia and the Vascular System

    Discoveries in the study of vascular dementia could lead to earlier diagnoses and new treatments for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

  • Bruce Tromberg
    The BRAIN Initiative: Changing Neuroscience

    Learn how the BRAIN Initiative is changing the practice of neuroscience through funding for expansive, unconventional, and multidisciplinary projects.
