Neurobiology of Cognition 2026

[Ruidong Chen]

Hi all,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the 2026 Neurobiology of Cognition Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), taking place July 18-19, 2026 at Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.

The GRS is a unique trainee-only (graduate students and post-docs) opportunity for early-career scientists to share their research and build a supportive community of peers exploring the neural basis of cognition. This year’s theme, “Cells, Circuits, and Computation,” focuses on bringing together diverse approaches to understanding cognitive function. We are especially interested in work that employs computational modelling, theoretical analysis, or Machine Learning inspired frameworks to understand cognitive functions. The GRS will feature two poster sessions where all attendees can present a poster. Attendees can also apply for a short talk. For full consideration, applicants interested in giving a talk should apply before April 12^th.

In addition to the scientific program, the GRS will have many opportunities for informal networking and career-focused discussions.

We highly encourage trainees to also apply for the associated Gordon Research Conference (GRC) that follows (July 19-24). Please share this opportunity within your labs and networks!
