We encourage all participants to present a paper at the meeting. The abstracts of the conference
will be subject to review and published in the Proceedings of the International Australasian
Winter Conference on Brain Research. Please make your abstracts as complete as possible,
including a full description of the experimental results, while adhering to the word limit.
Abstracts should contain a statement of the problem, brief methods, clear results, and a
statement of the conclusions or significance of the findings. Unacceptable abstracts will be
returned to the authors, who will be asked to submit a revised abstract. Note: Only one abstract
is permitted per presenter.
Please
prepare your abstract using the template file attached
here, and remember to answer the questions at the end of the file! These help us to
ensure we assign your work to the correct theme
