Neuroscience Virtual Event Series 2021


Labroots is excited to present the 9th annual event in the Neuroscience Virtual Event Series. This distinguished, online-only, event is free to attend and will once again bring together the neuroscience community to discuss and present the newest advances in understanding the human brain, neuropsychiatric disorders, and behavioral processes as it relates to the brain function. 

The tracks for this year's event include:

  • Integrating Theories of the Brain
    • Success Stories
    • Data-Driven (AI) Approaches
    • Theory-Driven (Mechanistic) Approaches
    • Debate: Can we Generate an Organized Theory of the Brain? (For understanding cognition/memory, perception, behavior) 
  • Neurodegenerative Disorders - Impacts and Progress
  • Mental Health in the Age of COVID-19

Call for Posters — Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the Neuroscience 2021 Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract here.

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open for 2 years from the date of the live event, and the webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing.  This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global neuroscience community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.

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.
