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

Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research brings 4 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations at this meeting centre on dopamine and movement timing, opioid use disorder, and neural control of hibernation. One thread explores how dopamine reward signals update the timing of future movements.
