Chinese Young Scholars for Human Brain Mapping - Frontiers in Multi-Modal Brain Imaging: From Neural Mechanisms to Precision Medicine for Brain Disorders

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

The 8th Annual Event of Chinese Young Scholars for Human Brain Mapping is proudly supported by the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM). This year, under the theme "Frontiers in Multi-Modal Brain Imaging: From Neural Mechanisms to Precision Medicine for Brain Disorders," the event will spotlight the integration of diverse neuroimaging modalities—such as structural MRI, functional MRI, diffusion imaging, and molecular imaging—to uncover the complex neural underpinnings of brain disorders. We aim to explore how cutting-edge techniques and computational approaches are advancing the field from basic brain mechanism research toward individualized diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. This event brings together outstanding Chinese researchers across the globe to share insights, foster connections, and explore innovative strategies that bridge neural mechanism studies and clinical translation through advanced multimodal imaging techniques.

The event includes Keynote Speeches, a Panel Discussion, and an Academic Networking session. Esteemed experts will share their groundbreaking research and experiences in international collaboration. This platform is dedicated to cultivating dialogue and mutual inspiration between senior researchers and emerging scholars in the field of human brain mapping.
Time: 18:15 – 19:45, Thursday, June 26, 2025
