Welcome from
the chair

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 5th International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences & 1st International Electronic Conference on Neurosciences (IECBS-IECNS 2026) after the strong success of the previous annual online conference. IECBS-IECNS 2026 will be held online on 9–11 March 2026.

The field of neuroscience is one of the most important frontiers in biomedical studies, as many of the details that control brain function are still not well understood. This makes the study of the nervous system very exciting and fast-moving. This conference will address a variety of research topics that reflect some of the current areas of focus. The topics of the conference will be organized around the following sessions:

S1: Neurodegenerative Diseases;
S2: Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience;
S3: Behavioral Neuroscience;
S4: Cognitive Neuroscience;
S5: Neurorehabilitation;
S6: Neurotechnology and Neuroimaging;
S7: Systems Neuroscience.

The aim of this online conference is to bring together well-known worldwide experts who are currently working on brain sciences and to provide an online forum for presenting and discussing new results.

All accepted abstracts will be displayed on the conference website. Abstract submissions should be between 200 to 300 words in length. For detailed guidelines, please refer to the "Instructions for Authors".

We look forward to your contributions.

Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Stephen D. Meriney
Department of Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Chair of the 5th International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences & 1st International Electronic Conference on Neurosciences

Early Detection and Prevention Division, Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Phoenix, AZ, USA;
Dr. Matt Huentelman (pronounced HUN-till-man) is Professor and Division Director of Early Detection and Prevention at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Phoenix, Arizona. He studies molecular mechanisms of the nervous system to personalize approaches to aging, preserve brain health, and prevent Alzheimer’s disease through “Precision Aging,” aligning cognitive healthspan with lifespan. He joined TGen in 2004 after a PhD in Physiology and Functional Genomics at the University of Florida, following chemistry and biochemistry training at Ohio University, plus fellowships in Moscow and Bristol. His work includes 300+ papers cited over 40,000 times.

Prof. Dr. Neera Ghaziuddin

Department of Psychiatry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA;
Neera Ghaziuddin, M.D., MRCPsych (UK), is a Professor and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist in the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry. Her research and clinical interests include treatment-resistant depression in adolescents, early-onset bipolar disorder, catatonia, and the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in youth with severe psychiatric illness. Dr. Ghaziuddin completed her medical training in New Delhi, India, her adult psychiatric training in London, England, and trained as a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the University of Michigan. She has published extensively on these topics. In 2013, she published the first book that exclusively focuses on the use of ECT in youth, titled "Electroconvulsive Therapy in Children and Adolescents" (Ed: Ghaziuddin and Walters; Oxford University Press). In the Department of Psychiatry, she is the director of the Treatment Resistant Disorder (TRD) clinic in the section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The TRD clinic trains a future generation of psychiatrists in the management of youth who are unresponsive to standard pharmacotherapy.
