Members from labs across Burke Neurological Institute traveled to Chicago to participate in Neuroscience 2019, the 49th annual conference of the Society for Neuroscience. From October 19 to 23, they joined 27,832 attendees in the field of neuroscience from more than 75 countries as 13,677 abstract presentations, and 833 sessions were shared at the world’s largest venue for global neuroscience.

Prior to SfN2019, members of BNI were in attendance at satellite symposiums: American Society of Neurorehabilitation, 2019 Annual Meeting - Chicago and 12th Annual SfN Satellite Symposium on Motor Systems, Northwestern University, Chicago.
