International Brain Bee

The International Brain Bee, founded in 1999 by Dr. Norbert Myslinski,[1] and supported by the Society for Neuroscience,[2] is the largest worldwide neuroscience competition for secondary school students.[3] Divided into local, national, and international levels of competition, the competition tests high school students in neuroscientific skill through examination in academic knowledge, as well as neuroanatomical, neurohistological, MRI, and patient diagnosis applications. First-place winners at local levels proceed to the host country's national competition, after which the national champions are invited to compete at the international level.[1] To date, the competition has more than 150 branches in over 30 nations.
