Over the last year, SfN Council has been reviewing how the Society could evolve its membership program to better meet the progressing needs of the field. Part of this review included the appointment of a Working Group on SfN Individual Membership, co-chaired by two members of Council.

The integrity of the scientific mission is a collective responsibility, and the Society for Neuroscience plays an integral part in ensuring the public’s trust in the scientific enterprise. SfN takes seriously the role of leading the field in its commitment to professional and ethical conduct, and in light of a number of recent high-profile scientific misconduct cases, the importance of this commitment is more vital than ever to ensuring the public’s ongoing understanding of and trust in the scientific enterprise.

Professor John J. Hopfield at Princeton University and Professor Geoffrey E. Hinton at the University of Toronto, Canada, were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for their foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks. Hopfield was the recipient of the 2012 SfN Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is pleased to announce the three Gold Sponsors of SfN’s annual meeting, Neuroscience 2024: Johnson & Johnson, Ncardia, and Nxera Pharma.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is supporting 445 neuroscience trainees to attend Neuroscience 2024, SfN’s annual meeting and the world’s largest gathering of neuroscientists, through the Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) program. Over $560,000 in generous donations — the largest amount raised for this program — were contributed by individual donors to the Friends of SfN Fund, foundation and corporate supporters, and SfN Council. SfN Council leads this TPDA fundraising initiative and matched many of the donations.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mihaela Iordanova to the eNeuro Editorial Board as Deputy Editor-in-Chief.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) successfully competed for a $1.35 million, five-year grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to continue its longstanding Neuroscience Scholars Program (NSP).

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor seven researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in neuroscience. The awards will be presented during Neuroscience 2024, SfN's annual meeting.

The Society of Neuroscience (SfN) will honor leading researchers whose groundbreaking work has transformed neuroscience — including the understanding of pain, addiction, stress, synaptic transport, vision, and sleep — with this year’s Outstanding Career and Research Achievement Awards. The awards will be presented during SfN’s annual meeting.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present six neuroscientists with this year’s Science Education and Outreach Awards, comprising the Award for Education in Neuroscience, the Science Educator Award, and the Next Generation Awards. The awards will be presented during SfN’s annual meeting.
