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
Chair of the 5th International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences & 1st International Electronic Conference on Neurosciences

Sessions

Certificates of Participation are available in your logged-in area of Sciforum.net, under “My Certificates” after the conference. Please note that the certificate is only for authors with accepted abstracts or registrations who attend the live session.

The slot for the oral presentation is 15 mins. We advise that your presentation lasts for a maximum of 12 mins, leaving at least 3 mins for the Q&A session.

Authors are encouraged to prepare a presentation in PowerPoint or similar software, to be displayed online along with the abstract. Slides, if available, will be displayed directly on the website using the proprietary slide viewer at Sciforum.net. Slides can be prepared in exactly the same way as for any traditional conference where research results are presented. Slides should be converted to PDF format prior to submission so that they can be converted for online display.

- Should include the title, authors, contact details and main research findings, as well as tables, figures and graphs where necessary.
- Size in pixel: 1080 width x 1536 height–portrait orientation.
- Size in cm: 38,1 width x 54,2 height–portrait orientation.
- Font size: ≥16.
- Examples of successful submissions can be viewed here.
- Guide of how to create a Poster (1), (2).

You can use our free template to create your poster. The poster template can be downloaded here. We will reach out to you closer to the dates of the conference with more information.

Accepted posters will be featured in the Flash Poster Sessions at the end of each conference session, when authors will present their work.

All accepted submissions will be permanently displayed online in the Poster Gallery. Once your submission is accepted, you can upload your poster in the "My submission" section. Simply select the correct conference and submission, then click the upload button.
For specific submission steps, please refer to the poster submission guidelines.

It is the author's responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
