Bills introduced in Congress can shape the future of neuroscience, mental health care, and public health. From research funding and clinical training to access to treatment and screening, these decisions affect what gets studied, what gets supported, and who gets care. Staying informed is one way we can stay engaged in the systems that shape our field and our communities. Swipe through to see a few bills we're watching right now 🏛️🧠

Applications are open for the 2026 Research Triangle Miniscope Workshop (August 26–27, Durham, NC)!

From scanning the field to executing precise passes and game-winning goals, the brain constantly orchestrates every movement. Even under grueling physical exhaustion, specialized neural circuits maintain a player's lightning-fast reflexes, sharp focus, and strategic stamina.

On April 21st, Triangle SfN neuroscientists had the exciting opportunity to visit East Chapel Hill High School, where we shared interactive talks on addiction (Dr. Amir Rezvani) and the science of itch and pain (Dr. Santosh Mishra) 🧠✨ From exploring how the brain’s reward pathways shape behavior to uncovering why something as simple as a scratch can feel so complex, students dove into the fascinating world of neuroscience.

We loved connecting with such an engaged group of students and sparking conversations about how neuroscience impacts everyday life—and future careers. Huge thank you to the students and teachers at ECHHS for welcoming us so enthusiastically. We can’t wait to be back!

This year’s UNC Science Expo was a feast for the senses🧠🍋 Visitors put their taste buds to the test: finding out if they’re supertasters, transforming sour to sweet with miracle berries, and getting hands-on with the Claw. Science has never felt (or tasted) this fun!

This past Friday was our 11th annual Triangle SfN conference. We had the opportunity to listen to some fantastic talks, show off some fantastic posters, and network with some great scientists. Thank you all for attending and thank you to those who helped make this conference possible!
