NeURO Undergraduates
Opening the doors to a world of neuroscience research
Fellows in our Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Opportunity (NeURO) program spend spring quarter learning about the practice and culture of science, then join a Stanford neuroscience lab for the summer to help advance our understanding of how the brain works (and why it sometimes doesn't).
