The field of neurosurgery and neurology has undergone a remarkable evolution, closely paralleling the advancements in clinical and basic neurosciences worldwide. Specifically, neuro-oncology and surgery have fostered close collaborations with various disciplines such as neurophysiology, advanced imaging, neuroradiology, neuropsychology, and rehabilitation. These interactions have facilitated the development, testing, and daily utilization of both invasive and non-invasive techniques in our departments for the study and treatment of patients with brain tumors. The integration of our clinical and scientific worlds has never been more evident, emphasizing the critical importance of interdisciplinary expertise in planning safe and effective treatments and enhancing our understanding of the intricate wiring diagram of the human brain and the neural physiopathology of brain tumors. 
In 2015, ConnectBrain was established with the aim of providing a comprehensive course that caters to a diverse audience, including professionals from neurosurgery, neurology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, rehabilitation medicine, and basic neurosciences. Building upon the success of the second edition in 2019, which attracted an international audience, we are proud to announce the launch of ConnectBrain Vol. III. 
For this upcoming edition, we have meticulously assembled a distinguished international faculty comprising experts in the field. These esteemed individuals will enlighten us on the latest methodological advancements in the study of brain structure and function. Their valuable insights will enable us to gain a comprehensive understanding of these breakthroughs and explore their practical applications in the treatment of brain diseases.
