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

Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (Cinvestav) brings 20 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its work at this meeting centres on brain circuits and neuromodulation, pain and neuroinflammation, and changes linked to neurological and psychiatric conditions. One thread examines how exercise regulates acetylcholine signalling in dentate gyrus granule cells.
