Neuroscience Virtual Event Series 2020



Labroots is excited to present the 8th annual event in the Neuroscience Virtual Event Series. This distinguished, online-only, event is free to attend and brings together the neuroscience community to discuss and present the newest advances in understanding the human brain, neuropsychiatric disorders, and behavorial processes as it relates to the brain function. 

The theme for this years event is Brain Function: In Health and In Disease and includes the following tracks and topics:

NIH BRAIN Initiative: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Neuroscience >>

  • Cell Type Diversity
  • Tool Development
  • Advancing Human Neuroscience
  • Early Career BRAIN Scientists
  • Understanding Circuits and Behavior

Understanding the Scourge of Neurodegenerative Diseases and Dementia >>

  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Neuroprotective agents and their role in ND

Behavioral and Psychiatric Disorders >>

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Schizophrenia
  • Depression

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open 6 months from the date of the live event.  The webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing. 

Continuing Education
LabRoots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this event, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit per presentation for a maximum of 40 credits.
