Similar to previous years, the tests will cover neuroscience knowledge, human neuroanatomy, and patient diagnosis. The following resources are the base from which the test questions will be drawn.

Please note that the resources listed here are for the NATIONAL competition. Study resources for your LOCAL brain bee may differ from the national – refer to your local brain bee webpages (see side menu) or reach out to your local brain bee organizers to confirm.

Study resources for the 2024 Canadian National Brain Bee include:
https://www.austinlim.com/open-neuroscience-initiative
Brain Facts 2018 (80 Mb)
neuroanatomy.ca (Note that there will NOT be any MRI labelling questions).
Many of the questions for the 2024 competition, including General knowledge, Patient Diagnosis, Neuroanatomy, and Neurohistology, will be drawn from the three study resources listed above. If we add additional recommended study resources, we will post a link here.

The general format of the tests will be outlined closer to the competition.
