Below, please find our most recent issues of The Cortex Report, a free monthly publication identifying various types of educational resources that may be of assistance to your board and staff. Each month, The Cortex Report focuses on one of three types of resources as follows:

1. Conferences and seminars scheduled over the next 12 months.

2. Educational programs and courses scheduled over the next 12 months (we consider educational programs to be those having a classroom format and generally held at universities or other academic institutions.)

3. Abstracts of educational articles published in journals, magazines and newspapers over the past 3 months, with associated Internet links.

Please note that The Cortex Report includes only conferences, seminars, and courses that are offered by academic institutions or industry and professional associations.
