Publication: Traumatic brain injury: progress and challenges in prevention, clinical care, and research

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has the highest incidence of all common neurological disorders, and poses a substantial public health burden. TBI is increasingly documented not only as an acute condition but also as a chronic disease with long-term consequences, including an increased risk of late-onset neurodegeneration.

Inviting submissions of late-breaking abstracts for INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022 

We are inviting submissions of late-breaking abstracts for INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly 2022 - submit your abstracts by Friday August 19! Curious about which abstracts have already been approved? View the list here. The INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly is an interactive event that will take place virtually from September 12-16 on the Gather platform, with poster sessions in Zohuddle. We’ve chosen these platforms specifically to make your experience as close to an in-person experience as possible.

Why is Assembly’s format different from other virtual conferences?
The Gather platform enables you to “walk” around the virtual space and when you get close to other participants they will pop up on live video. This works the same for posters and exhibitor booths and gives you a much more interactive experience than your ordinary virtual conference! The Assembly offers many training opportunities for participants of all career stages - this year we offer a 2 PhD-credit course on “Neuroscience data integration through use of digital brain atlases”. Find more information about this course and no fewer than 6 other training sessions here!

What is Zohuddle?
It’s an app to simplify virtual networking, specifically the poster session of Assembly. It works by letting you rank the abstracts that interest you the most, then creating a schedule of “huddles” with an integrated video chat for you to meet your matches! Important dates:

• Late-breaking abstract submission closes: Aug 19
• Assembly: September 12-16

Submit your abstract & register for Assembly 2022 today!
