National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism at SfN 2026

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

National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism brings 14 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its posters and talks at this meeting centre on fear learning and extinction, amygdala circuits, and alcohol- or THC-related brain effects. One thread examines how basolateral amygdala interneurons shape fear extinction and encode reward and punishment.
