Welcome to the University of Scranton's Brain and Behavior Conference Website!

We are happy to announce that the Scranton Brain and Behavior conference, an undergraduate-focused conference exhibiting research within neuroscience and psychology, is once again taking place Saturday, April 18, 2026! The conference will be located in Loyola Science Center (LSC) atrium. Registration will begin at 8:00am, and the conference will begin 9:00am.
