Brain Conference 2024
March 15
Brain has published landmark papers in clinical neurology and translational neuroscience since 1878. The Guarantors of Brain aim to promote teaching, education and research in neurology and related disciplines, and we started the Brain Conference in 2021 to further fulfil this mission. Brain is proud of its broad readership, comprising both clinicians and scientists within the neurosciences. This conference is for our general readership – whether you are a clinician or scientist, a student or senior faculty, working directly with patients or in the wet lab, this conference has something for you.
The conference is composed of topic sessions, representing a broad range of neuroscience topics. The sessions for conference 2024 are as followed:
- Sleep
- Advanced Therapies
- Neuroinflammation
