The 46th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) kicks off tomorrow morning in San Diego, California.

With an expected 30,000-plus attendees and about half as many presentations, SfN is the largest neuroscience meeting in the world.

The Spectrum team is on-site, covering the key posters and talks relevant to autism research in real time. Attendee reactions from the conference floor will also appear here as a rolling blog.

On Monday, 14 November, stop by the Hilton San Diego Bayfront’s Fox Sports Grill at noon to register as an editor. Lunch is on us.

Please also join us on Tuesday, 15 November, at 11 a.m. for a Q&A about autism research on Twitter. Follow us using the handle @Spectrum and participate by including the hashtag #SFNChat.
