Winter 2018

  • SfN President Rick Huganir
    Message From SfN President Richard Huganir: What Drives Us as Neuroscientists
    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.
  • Q&A: BrainFacts.org Editor Highlights Revamped Website 
    BrainFacts.org Editor-in-Chief John Morrison talks about the website's new 3-D brain model and interactive puzzles, as well as his vision for the future of the BrainFacts.org.
  • Neuroscience 2017 Poster Presenter
    Neuroscience 2017: Driving Global Scientific Progress
    Check out this video to see highlights from Neuroscience 2017, which attracted more than 30,000 attendees from 80 countries.
  • Floor Tour
    Policymakers Connect With Researchers at Neuroscience 2017
    As policymakers stepped onto the escalator and looked out over the poster and exhibit floors at Neuroscience 2017, their jaws dropped.
  • Chapter of the Year
    Louisville Chapter Wins Award for Accomplishments in Science Outreach
    For many neuroscientists, their work is purely about the lab and what happens in it. The Louisville Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience is trying to change that.
  • Award Winner
    SfN Honors Scientists for Research, Contributions to Field
    The Society for Neuroscience presented awards to about two dozen neuroscientists at Neuroscience 2017 in recognition of their scientific discoveries and contributions, outreach and educational work, and efforts to promote female and early-career scientists in the field.
  • Opioids Press Conference
    Inside Neuroscience: Understanding the Effects of Opioid Abuse
    In light of widespread opioid use, researchers are working to better understand the effects of opioids on the brain.

    Neuronline Spotlight: A Look at the Life of an Undergraduate Researcher
    Three promising young scientists share their experiences navigating scholarship opportunities, balancing lab work with classes and extracurricular activities, and pursuing their research passions in this Undergraduate Research Story series.
  • Society for Neuroscience
    A Year in Review: Success of Donor-Supported Programs
    From start to finish, 2017 proved to be an incredibly successful year, thanks to the generosity of donors to the Society for Neuroscience.
  • SfN Journals Lift the Curtain on Peer Review
    For scientists who have not served on a journal’s editorial board or for early career researchers who have not yet reviewed a paper, “submitting a manuscript may seem like pushing it into a black box,” JNeurosci Editor-in-Chief Marina Picciotto wrote in a recent editorial.
