Year-end Symposium and Research Showcase

The Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience invites our community to a symposium showcasing our award recipients’ trailblazing research on aging, neurodegeneration, and brain resilience. It will include a Stanford neuroscience poster session and contest, as well as a reception. This is an in-person-only event. 

Renowned experts in the field will share their latest research and help us better understand the remarkable resilience of the human brain. Speaker details will be shared soon.
