Molecules to Remember

Despite huge efforts and technical advances in neuroscience, the molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation, storage, and recall are still far from understood. At this meeting, world-leading researchers within the field were invited to present their latest research and the status of current knowledge, identify key scientific questions, and discuss new directions of memory research.
Junior researchers were strongly encouraged to participate, as this meeting presented a unique opportunity to discuss their projects with experts within the field and establish valuable contacts.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 2019 BRAIN PRIZE AWARDEE(S)

The program featured former winners of The Brain Prize and Nobel Prize in addition to other prominent speakers. Furthermore, we were very excited that the Official Announcement of The Brain Prize Winner(s) 2019 on 5 March was included as part of the program. The announcement was followed by a reception for The Brain Prize Winner(s) and all participants.
