The BNA Festive Symposium 2025 — delivering neuroscience: From synapse to society

Journal article

The BNA’s winter research meeting took place high above the City of London at Canary Wharf, an inspiring setting to consider new perspectives. The central theme was ‘delivery’, focusing on translation of fundamental neuroscience into effective therapies. The event targeted three main questions: How can therapies be effectively delivered to the brain? How might ‘meaningful intervention’ be realised for patients? How might hope be maintained for people with neurological and psychiatric disorders? Several interlocking ideas and debates emerged, circling around a central concern of how to move from molecular promise to effective and equitable real-world change for patients.
