The opportunity to connect directly with members of the JNeurosci Editorial Board continues in the annual Town Hall. The Editors will discuss new and ongoing journal initiatives including ECR initiatives, the expansion of topic sections, and navigating the peer review process. Join the event to make sure your questions are heard.

Join this interactive session as Ulrike Basten discusses her paper, "Positive Bias in Value-Based Decision Making: Neurocognitive Associations with Resilience" with JNeurosci Reviewing Editor Monica Rosenberg. Attendees can submit questions at registration and live during the webinar. Below is the significance statement of the paper published June 10, 2026 in JNeurosci and authored by Rebecca A. Rammensee, Andrew Heathcote and Ulrike Basten.

Publishing research remains one of the most important ways to share work and should be a strategic decision that can shape visibility, credibility, and career growth. With so many options that increase every year, what aspects matter most when choosing where to publish? In this webinar, experienced researchers and editors discuss what they consider when choosing, including assessing journal fit, identifying credible signals of quality, and how to evaluate impact metrics.

From the moment you start designing an experiment through your final manuscript, you have decisions to make. This webinar will help you plan and implement your statistical approach, avoid pitfalls, and generate analytics workflows for open, reproducible science. We’ll begin with an exploration of common mistakes and choices for neuroscience experiments, and end with an introduction to the use of programming to generate reproducible results.

Serving as a reviewer is a collaborative way to uphold the rigors of scientific practices while also paying forward the support we all rely on as researchers. But can reviewing also be personally rewarding beyond its value as a service to the community?

Why does federal funding for neuroscience matter—and how does it help you and your family? Get all the details from the experts at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in this free webinar for the public, academics, and clinicians. You’ll learn how federal funding works, what happens during a funding lapse or government shutdown, and what you can do to help keep important research moving.

Federal research funding is essential for advancing science, improving patient care, and sustaining the future of neuroscience and neurology. Yet, the appropriations process that determines this funding can be complex and unpredictable. Meaningful and effective engagement requires strong, coordinated advocacy.

Growing up in a household shaped by instability and domestic challenges, I never imagined neuroscience, or even science, could be a path for me. With little exposure to STEM, the world of research felt distant and out of reach. Yet over time, mentorship, persistence, and curiosity opened doors I didn’t even know existed. Those doors eventually led me to becoming a Goldwater Scholar, one of the most prestigious honors for undergraduate researchers.
