The human brain, as the most complex organ and arguably the most complex structure in the known universe, contains 86 billion neurons (alongside 85 billion nonneuronal cells) which produce our thoughts, feelings, memories, sense of self, consciousness, actions and experiences. There are numerous areas of medicine and research dedicated to it: neurology, neurosurgery, clinical neurophysiology, neuroradiology, neuropsychology and so on.
1-We aim to provide talks and teaching events complementary to and beyond the university-level curriculum for a variety of courses (including medicine and neuroscience) to cement your knowledge and explore a wide range of topics.
2-We want to foster an interest in brain-related research, encouraging collaboration between students and experts in the field.
3-We will also provide talks and guidance on how to progress into brain-based specialties and careers in medicine.
4-We will aim to organise clinical placements in neurological departments.
5-We will collaborate with other medical societies to run in-person, practical OSCE workshops to allow students to directly apply their knowledge of clinical testing in a stress-free environment.
6-We aim to support and fundraise for at least two neuro-based charities each year.
7-On top of all of that we will be running regular social events to get like-minded people together to discuss brain-related topics, or just to relax and have fun. We encourage anyone interested in the brain to join our society!
