The Princeton Neuroscience Network (PNN) was excited to host the Princeton Regional Brain Bee for the fifth year on February 15, 2025. This competition is the first step in an international event testing high school students on their neuroscience knowledge. Thirty-four participants competed, with 20 advancing to the second round of exams. Congratulations to Saharsh Bangaru, who won 1st place and earned a spot at the National Brain Bee, where he will compete against other regional winners for a chance to advance to the international level. Aradhya Vijay placed 2nd, and James Balestrieri placed 3rd. Well done to all participants for their hard work!

A special thanks to PNI's Fenna Krienen, Lindsay Collins, Yongqi Wang, and Duncan Mearns for serving as judges, and to the PNN Outreach co-chairs Olivia Taylor and Allen Nieva, as well as all of the volunteers who helped make this year's Brain Bee competition a success.
