Join us today for a virtual event that will bring together NIH BRAIN program staff, BRAIN-funded investigators, and others in the neuroscience community to discuss the latest advances in understanding the human brain, neuropsychiatric disorders, and behavioral processes as they relate to brain function. 

Labroots is hosting its 10th Annual Neuroscience Virtual Conference with featured presentations from individuals in cross-cutting fields in neuroscience, including neurologists, top scientists, clinicians, leading industry and academia institutions, healthcare professionals and research scholars. The one-day event will take place today (March 10, 2022) from 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (EST).  

The agenda, organized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) BRAIN Initiative team and planning committee members, promises to carry forward Labroots’ annual tradition of bringing inspired ideas in neuroscience to the forefront while exchanging new data and innovative approaches through its virtual stage.
