The EAN Scientific Panel on Higher Cortical Function has the mission to disseminate advances in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology among the neurological community in Europe. The study of the neural foundations of cognition and behaviour was born within clinical neurology, and remains one of the cornerstones of the intellectual endowment of neurology. The panel organizes symposia and teaching courses, and plans to develop evidence-based guidelines and to conduct European surveys:
This Scientific Panel comprises members from all EAN member countries.
