Register for "Finding Balance Outside the Box: Neuromechanics of Skilled and Impaired Movements" now. Just as the unique experiences of each individual shape the way they move, this session will recount how interdisciplinary training in biomechanics, neurophysiology, and engineering, coupled with diverse cultural and athletic experiences shape the speaker’s research in sensorimotor control of

Register for "Love, Death, and Oxytocin" now. Baby cries seem like simple sounds but evoke powerful responses, especially in parents. This session will discuss work on synaptic plasticity and mouse family life, with a focus on changes to the maternal brain and adult social behavior in response to infant cries. This session will also share a perspective on the challenges and opportunities in n

Register for "Understanding Complex Systems: Leveraging a Background in Math to Tackle Problems in Psychiatry" now. The idea that mental health conditions arise from the brain is widely accepted, but there is still a lack of understanding about how specific changes in brain function lead to these conditions. This session will describe the speaker’s journey from studying math in college to per
Register for "Exploration of Local Synaptic Interactions Guided by Global Experiences" now. The diversity of synaptic connections is crucial for circuit operations underlying a wide range of brain functions. However, scientists have yet to elucidate how synapses are formed and maintained in a specific pattern and functionally tuned as required by the neural circuits they support remains to be
Register for "Bridging Genes and Biology: Exploring Neuroimmune Mechanisms Behind Synapse Loss and Dysfunction" now. Emerging genetic studies implicate microglia in Alzheimer’s disease and other brain diseases, yet it's unclear how they contribute to cognitive dysfunction. Microglia eliminates synaptic connections using molecules from the innate immune system, shedding light on mechanisms of
Register for "A Different Take on Uptake: An Unexpected Journey in Flux" now. Advances in technology have always been the driving force for scientific progress. Since the first identification of neurotransmitter transport systems in the 1960s, new technologies have illuminated the unexpected functions of these carriers and the mechanisms of action for therapeutic drugs that target their activ
Neuroscience 2024! Location: McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago Each year, scientists from around the world congregate to discover new ideas, share their research, and experience the best the field has to offer. Attend so you can: present research, network with scientists, attend session and events, and browse the exhibit hall. Join the nearly half a million neurosc
