Description:
Development and exchange of scholarly information through discussion of published and on-going research. Topics of the colloquium have novel, significant, controversial, and/or far-reaching implications that are of general interest and will cover the breath of neuroscience including molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive neuroscience. The colloquium meets every week and includes lectures from visiting scholars, research reports from advanced graduate students, and presentations of research publications by each participant. Further information can be found in the syllabi.
