Our Neurosciences Seminar Series brings together the Stanford neuroscience community to discuss cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary brain research, from biochemistry to behavior and beyond.
Topics include new discoveries in fundamental neurobiology, advances in human and translational neuroscience, insights from computational and theoretical neuroscience, and the development of novel research technologies and neuro-engineering breakthroughs. Join us before the seminar for coffee, cookies, and conversation with colleagues, starting at 11:45 am.
Unless otherwise noted, seminars are held on Thursdays at 12:00 noon PT in the Gunn Rotunda (E241) of the Stanford Neurosciences Building.
