University of Utah at SfN 2026

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

University of Utah brings 40 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations centre on spatial and temporal coding, neural representations, and how brain circuits adapt to experience and internal state. One thread examines how the medial entorhinal cortex combines reward timing and spatial information to guide foraging.
