General

Join the Brain Imaging (BI) members of Amsterdam Neuroscience for an inspiring afternoon on 'Breaking barriers in treatment assessment and prediction in psychiatry'. You are invited to the next Brain Imaging Symposium on June 9, 2026. 

Innovation in brain imaging is what drives us. Marieke will introduce us into neuromelanin-sensitive imaging. Laurens stood up and published a critical letter in Molecular Psychiatry on treatment prediction. Daphne pioneered functional network assessment after S-ketamine administration. Join us in this symposium where young postdoctoral researchers will show us the way forward!
