The Texas Brain and Spine Institute is set to host the 11th annual Neuroscience Symposium on September 25 in the Hall of Champions at Kyle Field.

The goal of the symposium is to help the average person understand their brain better. In previous years the main topics covered in the symposium have been dementia, strokes, brain tumors, concussions and Parkinson's disease.

The headline speaker this year is Iain Mcgilchrist who has spent his career studying how different parts of the brain work together to be able to function in a complex world. His training is as a psychiatrist and he is from Oxford in Great Britain.

There are two basic parts of the symposium. The first part are three simultaneous mini-courses lasting 15 minutes each that are offered to the participants to understand better factors that affect your brain and then our main speaker, Dr. Mcgilchrist will give his talk.

To register you can go to txbsi.com/symposium or call 979.776.8896 but it isn't required.
