The University of California Irvine (UCI) Center for Neural Circuit Mapping (CNCM) held its 4th annual Summer Conference entitled "Brain Cell Types, Circuits, and Disorders" at the Beckman Center of the National Academies of Science and Engineering in Irvine, California. Herein, we provide a Meeting Report highlighting the conference and the work of its attendees. The conference hosted 204 formal registrants from 41 diverse academic institutions and 6 industrial organizations in the US and internationally, with 78 accepted abstract submissions (including 25 invited talks, 7 special/selected short talks, 4 workshop lectures, and 42 poster presentations). The conference had six major sessions with the themes of 1) Brain Cell Types, Connectivity and Genomics, 2) Precision Brain Cell Access and Imaging, 3) Neural Circuits and Networks, 4) Brain Disorders, 5) Frontiers, New Concepts and Approaches, and 6) International Collaboration Program and Viral Vector Workshop. This year's conference continued to be highly successful, and we have opened up registration for our 2025 summer conference entitled "The Changing Brain".
