2025-11-14
(Press-News.org) SAN DIEGO – The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is pleased to announce Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Dana Foundation, and Johnson & Johnson as the three Gold Sponsors of Neuroscience 2025, SfN’s annual meeting. All three Gold Sponsors will be recognized and featured regularly before, during, and after Neuroscience 2025.
Taking place November 15–19 in San Diego, Neuroscience 2025 is the largest gathering of researchers studying the brain and nervous system. The meeting will showcase cutting-edge science from all corners of the vibrant and diverse neuroscience field, with over 20,000 attendees and including 11,000+ presentations and more than 450 exhibiting companies.
“We are grateful to these three organizations for being the leading sponsors of Neuroscience 2025, demonstrating their commitment to the neuroscience community,” said SfN President John H. Morrison. “We appreciate them lending their support to a successful annual meeting, particularly in a tumultuous year.”
Amazon Web Services’ AWS for Nonprofit Research accelerates scientific discovery by providing researchers with powerful, flexible cloud infrastructure that adapts to their unique needs. The Dana Foundation supports education, training, and public engagement to advance neuroscience and society, a human-centered neuroscience paradigm that brings together students, scholars, practitioners, and communities to solve complex, real-world challenges related to the brain. Johnson & Johnson is creating a healthier future for the billions of people worldwide living with nervous system disorders. Guided by its commitment to lead where medicine is going, J&J seeks to redefine what’s possible in neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative, ophthalmic and autoantibody diseases.
With multiple levels of support available, SfN’s annual meeting sponsorship program allows companies and organizations in the neuroscience and biomedical fields to increase their engagement and share information and resources with the worldwide neuroscience community. The three Gold sponsors lead a group of seven additional Silver and Bronze sponsors supporting Neuroscience 2025. In addition, 30 organizations are supporting individual lectures, events, and awards at Neuroscience 2025. For more information about SfN’s sponsorships and program support opportunities, visit the SfN website or contact development@sfn.org.

Researchers from Stockholm University have – for the first time ever – managed to successfully isolate and sequence RNA molecules from Ice Age woolly mammoths. These RNA sequences are the oldest ever recovered and come from mammoth tissue preserved in the Siberian permafrost for nearly 40,000 years. The study, published in the journal Cell, shows that not only DNA and proteins, but also RNA, can be preserved for very long periods of time, and provide new insights into the biology of species that have long since become extinct.
“With RNA, we can obtain direct evidence of which genes are ‘turned ...

In season three of the hit television series The White Lotus, the character Victoria Ratliff takes the prescription anti-anxiety medication lorazepam to help with her social anxiety and inability to sleep. Her casual usage of the powerful benzodiazepine — often in combination with white wine — leads to her becoming visibly loopy, slurring her words, and falling asleep at dinner.
A recent study led by researchers at University of California San Diego has found that the show's portrayal of lorazepam use was associated with a surge in Google searches for the medication, including queries related to acquiring it online.
The findings suggest that the show generated 1.6 million ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping - the act of measurement itself. In a study published today (14 Nov) in Physical Review Letters, scientists demonstrate that the energy cost of reading a quantum clock far outweighs the cost of running it, with implications for the design of future quantum technologies.
Clocks, whether pendulums or atomic oscillators, rely on irreversible processes to mark the passage of time. At the quantum scale, where such processes are weak or nearly absent, timekeeping becomes much more ...

About The Study: In concordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, the data from this study show a rapid rise in early measles vaccination in early 2025. These data suggest an increase in early vaccination started in February, even before the updated guidelines were issued, potentially due to clinician and/or parental concern.

Researchers found bacterial genetic and cellular elements inside brain tumor cells that appear biologically active and may influence tumor progression and treatment outcomes
These bacterial elements were also found to be linked to specific immune and metabolic responses in brain tumors
Outcomes for glioma and other brain tumor patients remain poor, underscoring the need for better treatments, which these findings may help advance

Hypertension impairs blood vessels, neurons and white matter in the brain well before the condition causes a measurable rise in blood pressure, according to a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The changes help explain why hypertension is a major risk factor for developing cognitive disorders, such as vascular cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.
The preclinical findings, published Nov. 14 in Neuron, reveal that hypertension may induce early gene expression changes in individual brain cells that could interfere with thinking and memory. The findings may lead to medications that ...

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist, and their concurrence is associated with worse clinical outcomes than either condition alone. Inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of both diseases. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), derived from neutrophil, platelet, and lymphocyte counts, has emerged as a promising marker reflecting systemic inflammation. However, its prognostic value in critically ill patients with concurrent COPD and AF remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between SII and in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) ...

Logs are a familiar sight on the beaches along the coast of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii and are often viewed positively, as they can stabilize the banks, be used for firewood or act as benches by beach-goers. However, new research from the University of Victoria (UVic) shows that these logs are not as innocuous as they seem.
According to a study published by UVic biologist Tom Reimchen and two of his students, free-floating logs that wash ashore, referred to as drift logs, are causing widespread destruction of rocky intertidal ecosystems communities along the coast of Western Canada.
“In this study, we looked at both the ecological impact of drift ...

ROCKVILLE, Md. — Certain serious fungal infections occur in regions of the United States with specific environments and are often tied to soil exposure. These infections can affect both healthy and immunocompromised people, but proper diagnosis remains slow, which delays treatment.
The current gold standard for making a diagnosis relies on fungal culturing, which can take weeks, and tests that look for antigens, which lack specificity, or antibodies in the blood, which are often unreliable in early disease. But now researchers from Indiana University Health and the IU School of Medicine have developed a new molecular test capable of detecting ...

Artificial intelligence is being utilized across a variety of industries to reduce human workload, speed up workflows and improve output. Within the field of molecular pathology, AI is being used in part to improve diagnostic processes and accuracy. AI has the potential to not only automate tasks, but also to enhance clinical decision making.
Innovative studies in diagnostic applications of artificial intelligence will be presented at the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) 2025 Annual Meeting & Expo, taking place Nov. 11–15 in Boston.
Journalists are invited to attend the meeting in person or sign up for online access ...
