Themes and Topics
The SfN Program Committee assigns abstracts to topical poster or nanosymposium sessions according to their theme and topic, as selected by abstract submitters.
A searchable list of the Neuroscience 2025 themes and topics list is available via PDF. After opening the document, please use key command CTRL + F and enter your search term. The results will be highlighted in the right scroll bar.
Note that there have been significant changes to the list for 2025, including the addition of a new theme, so submitters should pay careful attention when making theme and topic selections.
