Current Issues in Neuroscience


The Program in Neuroscience and Education of the Department of Biobehavioral Sciences at Teachers College, Columbia University is pleased to announce a lecture series on current issues in neuroscience. Each week we will discuss a variety of topics on the frontiers of neuroscience, from neurological disorders to development and neuroimmunology. Some of the most accomplished investigators in neuroscience from top universities in the NYC area will be presenting new developments in their leading-edge research.

The lectures series is proudly co-sponsored by the Teachers College Vice President’s Diversity and Community Initiatives Grant Fund.
