About Neurotorium
At Neurotorium, our mission is to improve awareness and knowledge of the brain and its diseases. We provide unbiased and freely available, online educational content created for clinicians, educators and all who are interested in learning more about the brain. All our educational material is developed, reviewed, and regularly updated by leading experts within the fields of psychiatry, neurology, and neuroscience. Through awarding of educational grants, Neurotorium also enables others around the world to develop and deliver high-quality education about the brain. Neurotorium also organises scientific meetings and events at international conferences to facilitate dialogue within and between the fields of neurology and psychiatry. Neurotorium is a non-commercial, non-profit initiative founded by the Lundbeck Foundation.
