Seminars
The Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences helps support an active on-campus biomedical research seminar series.
The program features timely lectures and discussions in the broadly defined fields of the neurosciences, molecular, cellular and whole systems physiology, pharmacology, psychology and the cognitive sciences. A mix of external experts and center-affiliated faculty participate in the program, and we aim to involve students, faculty and staff who share common interests in preclinical and clinical neuroscience.
The seminar series runs through both the academic year and the summer sessions.
