The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is the largest organization of its type, with 35,000 researchers from over 95 countries. Each year, NEI-funded neuroscience researchers gather at the SfN annual meeting to share their latest discoveries in the neuroscience of vision.
Follow NEI on Twitter (@NatEyeInstitute) or LinkedIn to learn about the exciting news and advances unveiling at SfN 2023.
