Annual Retreat

The annual event is made possible through a generous gift from friends, Rush and Helen Record. The Record family resided in Houston for over 50 years and made significant contributions to understanding the causes of mental illnesses. They were pioneering advocates for recognizing the biological origins of mental illness and led efforts to promote research into the biochemical origins of schizophrenia. Their leadership was instrumental in founding the Division of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, under the direction of our first chair, Dr. James Patrick. This forum is held in their honor.

This annual forum is a key component of our graduate program, providing neuroscience graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with a platform to present their research findings to the Baylor College of Medicine neuroscience community. Additionally, the forum invites colleagues from other institutions to share their insights on our research and training activities.
