McGill University at SfN 2026

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

McGill University brings 21 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations centre on depression and stress, sensory processing, and the brain systems that support navigation and spatial memory. One thread explores how visual experience shapes direction-sensitive cells in the thalamus.
