Boston College at SfN 2026

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

Boston College brings 8 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations centre on memory, fear learning and avoidance, and decision-making, with a focus on how brain activity reflects learned threats. One thread examines how gut dysbiosis induced by antibiotics affects decision-making and microglia activity in the medial prefrontal cortex.
