    Message From the President: A Healthy Neuroscience "Ecosystem"
    While we, as scientists, advocate for more generous and reliable funding of neuroscience, it is also critical that we educate policymakers, funders, and ultimately the public about the need to support a healthy scientific portfolio that encompasses basic research and tool-building as well as translational research.
  • Poster Sessions
    SfN Adjusts Themes and Topics for Future Annual Meetings
    As a result of its yearly analysis of the annual meeting themes and topics, the SfN Program Committee has made changes that will go into effect for the 2016 meeting.

    Discover the Art of Neuroscience
    The Art of Neuroscience exhibit at Neuroscience 2015 showcases beautiful images of neurons, dendrites, and other brain features. Watch this video to hear from some of the artists about their inspiring designs.
  • Lab tour
    Lab Tours With Elected Officials: Communicating Neuroscience Progress and Promise

    A guided tour of your laboratory is one of the most effective advocacy tools for making a lasting impression on a government official.
