The Society of Neuroscience (SfN) will honor leading researchers whose groundbreaking work has revolutionized neuroscience — including the understanding of synaptic plasticity, neuroepigenetics, addiction, and network development — with this year’s Outstanding Career and Research Achievement Awards.

Thanks to the generosity of donors to the Friends of SfN Fund, foundation and corporate supporters, and SfN Council, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is supporting a record 272 neuroscience trainees to attend Neuroscience 2022 through the Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) program.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is pleased to announce the Platinum and Gold sponsors of SfN’s 51^st annual meeting, Neuroscience 2022. Abcam and Elsevier are serving as the meeting’s two Platinum sponsors, the highest level of sponsorship available.

Max Planck Institute geneticist Svante Pääbo was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his pioneer work sequencing the Neanderthal genome and giving rise to the field of paleogenomics.

The Neuroscience Scholars Program (NSP) welcomes its 2022-2024 cohort on August 1, 2022. Combined with the Program’s past scholars (dating back to 1981), the NSP alumni network now encompasses over 1,200 underrepresented neuroscience researchers at all career stages!

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Sabine Kastner as the next Editor-in-Chief of JNeurosci, the most-cited journal in the field of neuroscience.

SfN member Robert C. Malenka, MD, PhD, Pritzker Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences, Stanford University has been awarded the 2022 Peter Seeburg Integrative Neuroscience Prize for his ground-breaking research in identifying the mechanically distinct forms of synaptic plasticity present in the human brain.

The Society for Neuroscience extends congratulations to its newly elected officers and councilors. The incoming leaders will begin their terms at Neuroscience 2022 in San Diego.

SfN members Harry T. Orr and Huda Y. Zoghbi, alongside fellow neuroscientists Jean-Louis Mandel and Christopher A. Walsh, have been awarded the 2022 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience for pioneering the discovery of genes underlying a range of brain disorders. The laureates will share $1 million.

The 2022 Gruber Neuroscience Prize is being awarded to Larry Abbott, PhD, of Columbia University, Emery Neal Brown, MD, PhD, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Massachusetts General Hospital, Terrence Sejnowski, PhD, of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and UC San Diego, and Haim Sompolinsky, PhD, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Harvard University, for their seminal contributions to the fields of computational and theoretical neuroscience.
