University of Arizona at SfN 2026

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

University of Arizona brings 44 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its SfN 2026 presentations centre on brain changes in disease and stress, brain imaging, and circuits involved in movement and behavior. One thread uses a string-pulling task to track striatal dopamine release during task initiation and pulling.
