The first Neurobiophysics Youth Science Forum, a high-level event hosted by the Neurobiophysics Academic Subgroup of the Biophysical Society of China (BSC) and prepared by Xi'an Jiaotong University, will be held from December 18 to 20 in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi province.

The forum will accommodate 150-200 attendees, and more than 30 outstanding young scientists including national young talents and up-and-coming principal investigators in the fields of brain science and neuroscience will share their latest research results via academic reports.

This year's event, with the theme of "synaptic transmission - neural circuit - behavior and disease", will shed light on the basic scientific issues of synaptic secretion regulation, new directions and mechanisms of neural circuits, and the underlying logic of neurologically-related behaviors and diseases, in a bid to facilitate China's development in the sector and in-depth exchanges between industry insiders, and to cultivate young talents.
