Dec 2025
Neuroscience Day 2025 will take place at KAUST on December 1st, 2025, bringing together international researchers and the KAUST community to share discoveries at the intersection of brain circuits, behavior, health, and technology. The program will feature lectures from leading scientists, alongside presentations from KAUST students and postdocs showcasing the next generation of neuroscience research. The day’s sessions will cover emerging tools for monitoring and manipulating neural activity, including genetically encoded sensors and chemical approaches to dissect social and neuropeptide signaling; genetic, cellular, and circuit-level insights into behavior, sensory processing, and the impact of nicotine and cannabis on brain development; and new perspectives on brain health, spanning cerebrovascular dynamics, immune-brain interactions, and therapeutic strategies. The symposium will close with a panel discussion exploring how these diverse advances, from fundamental circuit mechanisms to translational approaches, shape the future of neuroscience.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
We invite submissions of abstracts for presentation at Neuroscience Day 2025. Researchers at all career stages, including students, postdoctoral fellows, and research scientists, are encouraged to submit their work spanning topics such as neural circuits, behavior, health, and technology.
Accepted abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the e-poster sessions, and selected submissions may also be invited for short oral presentations during the symposium. This provides an opportunity to showcase research to an international audience, exchange ideas with peers, and engage in scientific dialogue with leading experts.
Abstracts may be submitted through this form before October 20
