Snyder wrote numerous scientific treatises such as chemistry of the psyche and psychosis and brain functions .

From 1979 to 1980 Snyder was President of the Society for Neuroscience . Also in 1979 he was accepted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , 1980 into the National Academy of Sciences and 1992 into the American Philosophical Society .

He has won numerous science awards, including the John J. Abel Award in Pharmacology in 1970 , the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research and the Anna-Monika Prize in 1978 , the Wolf Prize in Medicine in 1982 , the Pasarow Award in 1990 , the Bower Award in 1992 and Prize for Achievement in Science , 2000 the Ralph W.
