The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present its highest honor, the Ralph W.Gerard Prize in Neuroscience, to Michael Greenberg, PhD, and Catherine Dulac, PhD.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) announced the 15 neuroscience trainees in the inaugural class of the Leadership Development Program (LDP). This two-year pilot program, supported in part by the Dana Foundation, will offer professional development training for exceptional trainees and future leaders in the field of brain science.

Developed in partnership with ARTECHOUSE, Neuro Space, an innovative installation created at the intersection of art, science and technology, takes visitors through a technology-based evolution of how scientists view neurons.

The new function of unused cortical regions is not necessarily determined by the function of nearby cortical regions, according to new research in adults born without one hand, published in JNeurosci.

Researchers have identified a neural pathway implicated in social interaction between adult and juvenile animals, according to new research in rats published in JNeurosci.

Magnetic stimulation of the posterior parietal cortex increases functional connectivity of a neural network implicated in memory, shows human research published in eNeuro. This finding confirms a previous study, validating further exploration of this technique for experimental and clinical applications.

Neuroscientists have failed to replicate the findings of an influential study linking genetics to cognition. Published in JNeurosci, the researchers highlight issues in the design, analysis, and interpretation of the original study.

High levels of cannabidiol (CBD) in cannabis can offset the neuropsychiatric effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by preventing activation of an emotional processing pathway, according to research recently published in JNeurosci.

Representations reflecting non-linguistic experience have been detected in brain activity during reading in study of healthy, native English speakers published in JNeurosci. The research brings us one step closer to a more complete characterization of human language.

Demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting the career development of the next generation of scientists, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) awarded 193 young researchers Trainee Professional Development Awards (TPDA), enabling them to present their research at Neuroscience 2019.
