Research AbstractsThe following abstracts have been accepted to the INS Annual Meeting. All investigators have been invited to present a poster and several have agreed to orally present their research on Friday as part of a poster preview session and two thematic panel sessions. Presenting authors and travel stipend recipients are identified below, and are also listed in the meeting program and related news release. Many thanks to these organizations and individuals for supporting this year's investigators with the following travel stipend funds and poster prizes.
Donations are still being accepted to the INS Annual Meeting Travel Fund to increase participation in the Society’s flagship event and to help neuroethics investigators from around the world gain exposure for their research.
