History


SfN was founded in 1969 by Ralph W. Gerard and, at nearly 37,000 members, has grown to be the largest neuroscience society in the world.[3] The stated mission of the society is to:



  1. Advance the understanding of the brain and the nervous system.

  2. Provide professional development activities, information, and educational resources.

  3. Promote public information and general education about science and neuroscience.

  4. Inform legislators and other policy makers about the implications of research for public policy, societal benefit, and continued scientific progress.[3]


The Society publishes two peer-reviewed scientific journals. The Journal of Neuroscience publishes papers on a broad range of topics of general interest to those working on the nervous system. eNeuro is an open-access journal that publishes high-quality, broad-based, peer-reviewed research focused solely on the field of neuroscience.



Annual meeting


The Society holds an annual meeting that is attended by scientists and physicians from all around the world. The first annual meeting of the society was held in Washington, DC in 1971, and it was attended by 1,396 scientists. Subsequent meetings have been held annually in a variety of cities throughout the US, with the exception of the 1988 meeting, which was held in Canada. Attendance has increased to approximately 30,000 attendees. The 2018 meeting was held in San Diego, CA, and the 2019 meeting will be held in Chicago, IL.
