The unique logo for GCBP 2018 has been conceptualized from nest of the Red Tailed Hawk which is a bird that �ies high making determined efforts towards prey location. This is similar to the dedicated effort of neurobiologists who are highly focused on speci�c areas of research that serve as building blocks for neurobiology.

The Red Tailed Hawk builds its nest painstakingly collecting twig by twig over long periods of time analogues to elementary research carried out for years by basic neuroscience experts that culminate into various neurobiological theories. The Red Tailed Hawk usually lays 3 eggs in her nest. These 3 eggs in our logo are symbolic of how translational neurobiology serves to bene�t clinical psychiatry and treatments stemming from biological, genetic and epigenetic, neuroendocrine / neuroin�ammatory domains (represented by 3 eggs) that result in the positive culmination of the latest Neurobiological Hypotheses.

(Logo designed & conceptualized by Dr. Venu Gopal Jhanwar & Dr. Avinash De Sousa)
