Top minds gather to think on brain research

Sixty of the brightest young scientists from Australia and the region gathered in Melbourne recently to explore the future of brain research in Australia, at the Academy’s annual Theo Murphy (Australia) High Flyers Think Tank

Held at the Melbourne Brain Centre and Australian Synchrotron, the Think Tank made a number of key recommendations, to be published later this year, and generated significant activity on social media, which buzzed with discussions about ageing and dementia, neurogentics, artificial intelligence and more.
