Your Brain on Parenthood, Depression, and Psychedelics: The Neuroscience of Change

Come join us at The Atrium, UQ Brisbane City for a dynamic evening of neuroscience designed for the curious mind. As part of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) 2025 conference, this public lecture brings together three fascinating talks exploring how the brain changes through life, illness, and intervention.

Hear from leading Australian neuroscientists as they reveal how our brains adapt — in motherhood, in depression, and under the influence of psychedelic therapy.

Who should attend?

Anyone curious about how the brain works and changes — no science background required.
