Learn About the Society's 50th Anniversary Celebrations

Since its founding in 1969, SfN has played a critical role in supporting the field of neuroscience. Now in our 50^th year, the Society is excited to commemorate advances in global neuroscience research and the members who are dedicated to furthering the field.

SfN's mission to advancing and advocating for scientific exchange, supporting diversity and career training, and educating the public about the importance of neuroscience research remains at the forefront of our work.
