Abstract

The combined effort of the neuroscience and psychology cluster at the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)—fundamental, applied and clinical—has moved the institution to the number two position in the country, behind Universiti Malaya. The strategy to join the Global Brain Consortium (GBC) and put Malaysia on the map to address the GBC mission, vision, focus areas and outcomes began recently, in May 2019.
