Abstracts covering all facets of understanding and treating brain conditions are encouraged. The conference will cover both clinical and laboratory studies relating to assessment and management of individuals with brain health challenges across the lifespan. We encourage a particular focus on how scientific evidence can be translated into clinical practice, such as through education and training of clinicians.
