International Conference on Translational Neuroscience: Brain to Behaviour (ICTN 2026) - Your Experience Can Help Others

International Conference on Translational Neuroscience: Brain to Behaviour (ICTN 2026)  
Share. Connect. Inspire 

As part of the International Conference on Translational Neuroscience: Brain to Behaviour (ICTN 2026), the Centre for Neuroscience, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), in association with CENABH and the Ernakulam Press Club, invites members of the public to participate in "Your Experience Can Help Others"—a unique, non-competitive write-up initiative.

This platform encourages individuals affected by neurological disorders—including patients, caregivers, family members, and well-wishers—to share their personal experiences, challenges, coping strategies, treatments, and moments of hope. By sharing these stories, participants can help raise awareness, reduce stigma, foster empathy, and inspire others facing similar journeys.

Participants are invited to submit a write-up of up to 1,000 words. Selected submissions will be featured anonymously to protect participants' privacy while ensuring that their voices contribute to greater public understanding and awareness.

📅 Submission Period: 16 July – 30 August 2026

Every story has the power to educate, encourage, and create meaningful change. Join us in building a more informed, compassionate, and supportive community for brain health.

Share. Connect. Inspire. Together, for Brain Health and Beyond.
