Neuroscience Virtual Event Series 2022



Labroots is excited to present the 10th 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 will include:

  • NIH Brain Initiative: Human Neuroscience and the Cross-Cutting Impact of Scientific Collaboration
    • Neuroethics
    • Cognitive/Executive Function
    • Technologies/Approaches/BCI
    • Disease
  • Advancements to Combat Neurodegenerative Disease
  • Developments in Behavior and Psychiatric Disorder Research

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 microbiology 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.

Labroots is a proud partner of Chati, a virtual event platform that allows for the hosting of engaging and interactive virtual and hybrid events, catering to businesses of any vertical or size.
