This fall, the 54th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will be held, along with its accompanying tradeshow, Neuroscience 2025, from November 15 to 19 at the San Diego Convention Center. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend lectures and symposia aimed at sharing the latest insights in brain science research from top neuroscientists. The show will also host numerous companies, showcasing their solutions for imaging and analyzing the brain’s growth. Earl Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT, will deliver a Presidential Special Lecture on how “Cognition Emerges From Neural Dynamics”. He will discuss how current evidence suggests that higher cognition relies on rhythmic oscillations, or "brain waves," at the electric field level. This lecture will examine how these fields may facilitate large-scale organization, enabling executive control and energy-efficient analog computing. Other Presidential Special Lectures will be given by Tara Spires-Jones of the UK Dementia Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh, whose lecture is titled “The Importance of Synapses in Alzheimer's Disease;” Catherine Woolley of Northwestern University, who will deliver “Sex Differences in the Brain Are Misunderstood;" and Fred Gage from Salk Institute, whose lecture is entitled, “Neuronal Aging: A Major Risk for Cognitive Decline in Humans.” Featured and special lectures cover topics ranging from human neuron development to the primate amygdala. In a special lecture, Rony Paz of the Weizmann Institute of Science will examine how brain circuitry can drive maladaptive behavior and psychopathologies such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. His lecture is entitled, “Emotional Learning and the Primate Amygdala: From Adaptive Behaviors to Psychopathologies.” Numerous symposia and "minisymposia" will also feature, exploring themes such as substance use disorders, neurons, cognitive maps, neuropathology, and more. Five featured panel sessions will be held this year in various neuroscience topics. Courtesy of Society for Neuroscience. Featured panel sessions will be held, including three basic-translational-clinical roundtables: “From Traumatic Brain Injury to Post-Traumatic Epilepsy: Mechanistic Linkage Through Biomarkers, Inflammation, In Vivo Imaging, and Multiomics;” “Integrating Academic and Industry Contributions to Accelerate the Path From Target Biology to Patient Intervention;” and “Roadmap for Direct Translation of Optogenetics Into Human Therapies.” Additionally, a dual perspectives session will be held on “What Is in a Name?: Define the Boundaries of Neuronal Cell Types.” A storytelling session will be held on “Visible and Invisible Disabilities: Unique Experiences Require Tailored Approaches.” Neuroscience 2025 will also include meet-the-expert and meet-the-clinician-expert sessions, ask-anything sessions, professional development workshops, networking, public outreach, advocacy, and neuroscience networking events. Neuroscience 2025 will take place November 15-19 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego. The meet-the-clinician-expert series will be held virtually, a series of one-hour webinars that will be held after the conclusion of Neuroscience 2025, between December 2025 and April 2026.
