The world-wide neuroscience competition for high school students, directed by founder Dr. Norbert Myslinski, that motivates students to learn about the brain, captures their imaginations, and inspires them to pursue neuroscience careers in order to help treat and find cures for neurological and psychological disorders. There are currently about 150 Local Brain Bee coordinators in 30 countries worldwide that conduct competitions annually. The winner of each Local Bee is invited to attend the National Brain Bee competition in his or her own country, and the winner of each National Bee is invited to compete in the International Brain Bee Championship.

The local competitions are in the question-and-answer format based on material from a book that is freely downloadable from the internet The championship competitions may also involve a neuroanatomy laboratory practical with real human brains, neurohistology with microscopes, brain imaging identification and patient diagnosis with patient actors.The International Brain Bee is a program of the non-profit foundation Mankind for International Neuroscience Development, Inc.
