Princeton University at SfN 2026

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

Princeton University brings 49 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its posters and talks centre on memory and flexible cognition, brain changes linked to stress and drug exposure, and tools for studying neural activity. One thread examines how synapses in the medial prefrontal cortex remodel after 5-MeO-DMT exposure.
