Institute Research Recognized at Society for Neuroscience 2025

poster

December 19, 2025. We are proud to share that a Nature paper co-authored by INB researchers Drs. Stefanie Hampel and Andrew Seeds, in collaboration with Drs. Philip Shiu and Kristin Scott lab at UC Berkeley, was nominated for the Aspirational Neuroscience Award at this year’s Society for Neuroscience meeting.

The study (Shiu et al., 2024) combines experimental circuit discovery with computational modeling to explain how neural circuit architecture gives rise to behavior—work that exemplifies the kind of integrative neuroscience this award recognizes.

The nomination reflects the international impact and visibility of INB research. We also congratulate Sebastian Seung, Srinivas Turaga, and Sven Dorkenwald—this year’s award recipients and collaborators in the San Juan Winter School on Connectomics.
