The Integrative Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems (INSS) 2025 Meeting
July 17 - July 18
We are delighted to welcome you to the inaugural Integrative Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems (INSS) 2025 meeting. Hosted by the Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems (NSS) Professional Interest Area (PIA) of the International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART), in collaboration with the Sleep and Circadian Rhythms PIA, this meeting brings together researchers and clinicians to explore the critical role of the NSS in neurodegenerative diseases.
This network of conserved nuclei modulates behavior, cognition, and sleep-wake cycles, while also exhibiting increased vulnerability in the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease and contributing to the sleep-mediated clearance of associated proteinopathies.
This two-day hybrid event in Boston, made possible through the support of ISTAART, aims to bridge gaps in understanding the NSS’ contributions to neurodegeneration and related processes by integrating diverse perspectives across disciplines, career stages and global regions. Featuring keynote lectures, presentations on emerging topics, panel discussions, round table sessions, and networking opportunities, the INSS meeting seeks to inspire new ideas, foster collaboration, and advance research in this vital and rapidly evolving field. To participate, please register and submit your abstract. In-person spots are limited, so early registration is encouraged. Thank you for joining us in shaping the future of NSS research!
