Happy Holidays from the Neuroscience Center! Two Fridays ago, we came together for our traditional Christmas Party and had a chance to enjoy each other's company in a relaxed atmosphere. Now, it’s time to step away from work for a while and prioritize our brain health with some well-deserved rest.

One year ago, we rebooted the PhD & Postdoc Council at NC. In 2025, its 10 members organized several impactful events and learning opportunities for the community. Now we thank the outgoing members and welcome some new faces! Learn more about their duties here: www.helsinki.fi/en/hilife-he...

Thank you Doctoral Program Brain & Mind and their student lead organizing team for setting up the yearly B&M Symposium(blogs.helsinki.fi/bm-symposium...) and connecting neuroscientists in the Helsinki area, inviting inspiring speakers and supporting networking for the young scientists.
