2014 is the European Year of the Brain, the European Brain Council has pledged. Our meeting in November this year (2013) will be  an opening associated event.

The purpose of The Age of the Brain is to change the way people think about their brains and the conditions which affect it forever, and hopefully for the better.

We have an exciting programme in prospect, which will be available to be viewed in the very near future.
