Neuroscience Day is an annual event where up to 400 neuroscientists from Aarhus University, Aarhus University Hospital, RegionMidt, invited speakers, as well as professional organizations and foundations meet to present and discuss their research and potential collaboration across disciplines, faculties and organizations.

A central theme this year is MEMORY – from molecule to patient; i.e. research on the underlying molecular mechanisms in the healthy brain and what goes wrong in the diseased brain is presented and discussed. Keynote speakers are the 2016 Brain Prize Winner Prof. Richard Morris, UK, and Prof. Maiken Nedergaard, Copenhagen University.
