The 33rd annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience is halfway through its six day program. With over 34,000 members, the Society for Neuroscience represents all the hard working individual scientists and companies that spend each day driving the neurotechnology wave into existence.

Here is a brief overview of some of the sessions so far:

1. Congratulations to Bernice Grafstein, recipient of the Women in Neuroscience lifetime achievement award. Also, congratulations to Carol Barnes, the new President of SfN.

2. Odor Maps and Odor Codes: Odor detection in the nose is mediated by 1,000 diverse odorant receptors in humans. Odor is quite important. Sounds like progress on the sensoceutical front.

3. Neuroethics: An Uncertain Future by Donald Kennedy, Editor-in-Chief, Science. This is important as thought reading devices continue to advance.

4. Other Amazing Advances: love and neuroeconomics, addiction, false memories, chronic pain, simulating neurons, international neuroscience, and one extra for you music lovers.
