What is Neuronline?
Neuronline is a member-focused website for learning and discussion. Neuronline is a place where neuroscientists at all career stages can share great science, forge collaborations, and keep in touch using the Neuronline Community.
Content falls under seven broad primary badges. You can also find related resources in Collections or sorted by resource type.
Neuronline's articles, videos, and other media content are based on SfN programming to serve member needs. Neuronline Community discussions are generated by members, for members, making your involvement the key to its success.
Who has access to Neuronline?
SfN members have unlimited access to Neuronline resources. Nonmembers have limited access to five resources a month and can register for webinars for $15 per event. In addition, non-SfN members who have participated in specific SfN-supported programs like the Neuroscience Scholars Program and the Trainee Professional Development Awards are also able to participate in dedicated communities.
What is the refund policy for webinars?
If SfN changes fundamental details of the webinar (date, time, or speakers), nonmember registrants may request a registration refund. To request a refund, please email digitallearning@sfn.org at least 48 hours before the event. Otherwise, refunds are not provided.
All webinars are complimentary to SfN members. SfN webinars can also be watched on-demand if someone is unable to attend the live broadcast.

Can I post copyrighted articles and other materials?
Members should have or obtain permission to post any copyrighted material before posting to Neuronline Community. For research articles, it is recommended you post a link rather than post the full-text or an abstract of an article since this will allow members who have legitimate access to that article to view it without violating copyright laws. Please refer to the Copyright Notice.
