One week out from NEURON 2026 🔬
We’re getting ready to welcome an incredible community of students, trainees, and scientists for a full day of neuroscience at QU. Posters, data blitz talks, workshops, and a keynote you won’t want to miss.
Proud of the BNS presence and everything coming together behind the scenes. See you on April 11 ðŸ§

The 39th Annual Northeast Undergrad/Grad Research Organization for Neuroscience (NEURON) Conference is coming to The SITE at Quinnipiac University on Saturday, April 11, from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM EDT. We hope you can attend!
This full-day conference brings together undergraduate and graduate students, faculty mentors, industry partners, and trainees from across the region for a This full-day conference brings together undergraduate and graduate students, faculty mentors, and industry partners for a dynamic day of science and career development. Modeled after the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, NEURON features poster sessions, a keynote lecture, data blitz talks, workshops, and recruitment tables, offering trainees an authentic professional conference experience in a supportive setting.
Location
The SITE, Quinnipiac University
275 Mount Carmel Avenue
Hamden, CT
Keynote Speaker
Danny Winder, PhD
Chair and Professor of Neurobiology
UMass Chan Medical School
Keynote Address:
“Diverse Mind, Shared Struggle: Neurobiological Insights into Alcohol Use Disorder through Heterogeneity & Co-Morbidity”
Dr. Winder will explore how individual variability shapes the neurobiology of alcohol use disorder and what this means for translational neuroscience and treatment development.
Featured Workshops Include:
• Positive Touch in the Lab: Implementing Rat Tickling for Welfare Enhancement (Alexion)
• Controls. Clarity Not Coincidence! (C4R)
• Randomize to Know It Is Real (C4R)
• AI and Systems Neuroscience
• Intraoperative Neuromonitoring and Surgical Neurophysiology (IONM)
• Careers in Science Panel
• Faculty Workshop

Had to stop by @microgliapropaganda at #SfN2025 because… microglia enthusiasm runs deep 🧠✨
Loved hearing from @morgan.a.coburn about how @neuronconference was her very first conference — it’s amazing how those early experiences can shape the path we’re on.
How impactful was your first conference?
Share your Neuron memories, stories, or clips — send me your videos and I’ll post them!
Big shoutout to @knottedneuro & @microgliapropaganda for bringing art to #sfn2025 💗ðŸ§
