Our mini conference will be an exciting event bringing together established leaders and early career researchers from the behavioural neuroscience community for a day of amazing science and networking opportunities. The overarching theme of the 2024 mini conference will be Understanding Neuronal Mechanisms Driving Behaviour. Under this theme, each society will host their own session featuring junior and established researchers (4 per session) within their membership. Speakers will present research focused on elucidating the intricate neural processes that underlie behaviour, spanning from the molecular and cellular levels to broader systems interactions. Cutting-edge behavioural and neuroscience techniques that provide deeper insights into the emergence of complex behaviours will be highlighted. Each session will end with a Q&A
