International Symposium on Brain Structure and Function
About the International Symposium on Brain Structure and Function
This symposium aims to provide opportunities for discussing structure-function relationship in the brain, which is a central topic in the international journal Brain Structure and Function by inviting international speakers who are actively doing scientific research on the structure-function relationship of the brain. The meeting will be arranged in a hybrid format for allowing broader discussion.
We plan to also open an abstract submission for those who wish to present their own work in the poster session.
