The Kavli Institute for Neuroscience at Yale invites all Yale affiliates to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Institute on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024. The Kavli Institute for Neuroscience aims to understand how genes, molecules, cells, and neural circuits interact to give rise to brain development and behavior, and to apply this knowledge to advance treatments for brain disorders.

For its 20th anniversary, the Kavli Institute is hosting a one-day celebratory symposium. In alignment with its mission, the symposium will highlight many subfields of neuroscience, and will feature talks from renowned external speakers, Yale faculty, and Yale trainees. We hope you will celebrate with us during this very special event.
