About Sunposium

MPFI’s Sunposium conference brings together hundreds of the world’s leading neuroscience researchers to explore the challenges, breakthroughs, and emerging discoveries shaping our understanding of neural circuits. This premier international event highlights cutting-edge research that addresses some of the most complex questions in modern neuroscience.

Advancing the Understanding of Neural Circuits

Scientists from around the globe attend Sunposium to collaborate on research focused on the neural circuits that underlie sensory processing, memory formation, behavior, and more. By uncovering how these circuits function, researchers can better understand the mechanisms behind neurological diseases and disorders — and work toward developing more effective treatments and interventions.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Neuroscience

While the majority of participants are neuroscientists, Sunposium also draws experts from complementary fields such as biochemistry, physics, engineering, and computational sciences. These interdisciplinary perspectives play a vital role in expanding and enhancing foundational neuroscience research.

Driving Innovation Through Collaboration

The basic research presented at Sunposium has the potential to dramatically transform our understanding of the brain and, ultimately, human health. By fostering open dialogue, collaboration, and a problem-solving mindset, Sunposium provides an environment where the scientific community can unite to tackle the field’s most pressing challenges and chart the course for future discovery.
