RIKEN at SfN 2026

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

RIKEN brings 8 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its posters and talks at this meeting centre on sleep and neural coding, astrocytes in memory, and brain mapping and connectivity. One thread examines how the Dreamy gene regulates the quantity and quality of rapid eye movement sleep in mice.
