The 3rd International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences

Online | 1–15 October 2022

Volume Editor:

Cover Story: This volume brings together the complete presentations of the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Brain Sciences (IECBS 2022) held on 1–15 Oct 2022. The field of neuroscience is one of the most important frontiers in biomedical studies, as many of the details that control brain functions are still not well understood. This means that the study of the nervous system is very exciting and fast moving. The topics in this volume are approached from the effect of COVID-19 on mental health, developmental neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, neuropathology, cognitive, Alzheimer's disease and present the recent outcomes. We hope it can provide new references and provoke fresh ideas for the scholars in the field of neuroscience.
