Washington State University at SfN 2026

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

Washington State University brings 10 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its SfN 2026 presentations centre on drug seeking and addiction, decision-making and reward, and how stress and activity affect behavior. One thread examines how ketamine changes prefrontal inhibition after cocaine-memory retrieval and reduces drug seeking in female rats.
