Indian Neurobehavior Conference
19 -21 December 2022
Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE)
About the Conference
The brain regulates vital behavioral functions like feeding, sleeping, aggression, courtship, and navigation. A deeper understanding of brain function at molecular, genetic, and neural circuit levels is crucial to develop novel therapies for conditions from depression to neuro-degeneration and neuro-immune dysfunctions. This unique conference aims to bring together Indian neuroscience researchers and clinicians to bridge the gap from identifying mechanisms to finding therapeutic targets. Graduate, post-graduate, MBBS/MD students and postdoctoral fellows are especially encouraged to present their research via talks and posters.
