Four research papers developed by students from NESMEP (CE/UFPB); LAPECC (CCHLA/UFPB) and PPGNEC were approved for presentation at the 38th ECNP Congress, which will take place from October 11 to 14, 2025, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The ECNP Congress is one of the most important international events in brain research, bringing together experts from different fields – psychiatry, neurosciences, neurology and psychology – to discuss the latest advances in the field.
