Brain & Mind Australia is an organization consisting
of Australia's leading researchers in the areas of basic neuroscience,
cognitive neuroscience & genetics, as they pertain to mental
illness.
The elected members of the organization and their
collaborators participate in and organize an Annual Symposium 'Genes,
Neurons & Mental Illness' each year around July-August, together
with specialist workshops each year. All of these are run on a national
basis.
In addition, there is synergy of efforts
in reaching across old, disciplinary boundaries. This is forged
by the promotion of dialogue between the members, leading to the
formation of new project and program grants through the national
research grant agencies.
