INSERM at SfN 2026

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

INSERM brings 12 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations at this meeting centre on neural circuits involved in emotion and behavior, stress and addiction, and brain development and aging. One thread examines how activating the GPR88 receptor reduces morphine reward and neuron-driven reinforcement.
