Bruker at Society for Neuroscience 2026
Join Us at SfN 2026
Join Bruker at the annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2026 conference, where the global neuroscience community gathers to explore the latest in brain research, imaging, and technology.
Discover everything we have planned at SfN, below, from expert consultations and in-booth Q&A and demonstrations to presentations, product theaters, and a special satellite event. We’re excited to exhibit and connect with you — come meet our team and discover what’s new!
Date: November 14 - 18, 2026
Location: Washington D.C.
Venue: Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Booth: Booth 1917
Visit us at Booth 1917 to speak with an expert and see our microscopy solutions on display, or book a meeting with us to demo a system or see it in action with your sample.
Connect with Bruker experts and explore our full suite of fluorescence microscopy technologies and spatial biology solutions for life science imaging and analysis, including:
Multiphoton Microscopes for deep tissue imaging
Miniscopes and Multi-Site Miniscopes for in vivo neural circuit studies
Bruker Spatial Biology Solutions for high-plex spatial proteomics and transcriptomics

Our solutions help scientists make breakthrough post-genomic discoveries and develop new applications that improve the quality of human life. Our team will be available throughout the show to discuss applications, answer questions, and help you find the right solutions for your neuroscience research. See you there!
Illuminating cell-type-specific maps of the hippocampal spatial code
Author: Liset M. de la Prida, PhD, Research Professor
Affiliation: Instituto Cajal CSIC, Madrid, Spain
Abstract: Exploration drives the formation of hippocampal cognitive maps, yet understanding how they emerge from the activity of heterogenous cellular populations is unclear. We combine single- and dual-color imaging strategies to dissect cell-type specific contributions to the population code. Our data indicate that the hippocampus operates through parallel genetically-defined subcircuits to simultaneously encode local and global information from the environment in integrated cognitive maps.

Product Theaters
Illuminating Brain Function Through Two-Photon: Calcium and Voltage Dynamics with Optogenetics
Two-photon microscopy has advanced our understanding of computation and connectivity in neuroscience. Through in-vivo calcium imaging at cell-resolution, scientists study brain activity from scales of dendritic spines to neuronal networks. Combined with optogenetics and voltage imaging, 2P offers new insights into dynamic interactions in neural circuits. Learn how Bruker enables research with 3D holographic optogenetics, voltage imaging (OptoVolt), fast volumetric imaging (NeuraLeap), and more.
