Ajou University at SfN 2026

Nov 14–18, 2026 Washington, DC ~21k attendees Website

Ajou University brings 15 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations centre on Parkinson’s disease, recovery after stroke and spinal cord injury, and the brain’s changing activity and immune responses. One thread explores how gut bacterial genes that regulate methylglyoxal metabolism may help restore dopamine-producing neurons in a Parkinson’s disease model.
