This Wednesday (9/27), Neuroscience Axis is going to be exploring the field of computational neuroscience, a study of brain function in terms of its information processing properties. We will be discussing how neuroscience can be studied using computational models, and demonstrate classic experiments using the computer software “Neurons in Action”.

Research Workshop will also be taking place this week on Thursday (9/28) in SAC 312. Come to discuss the articles recently published in neuroscience and learn how this knowledge can be applied to approach professors and to gain research experience.

As always, GBMs are held in Life Sciences, Seminar Room 038 at 7pm on Wednesdays.

 

Sincerely,

The NeSA

 

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Neuroscience Axis!

As you might have noticed, the NeSA website seems to only have posts and pictures from the previous semesters. However, we are currently updating the website and all the information about the GBMs, seminars, and other upcoming events will be posted here soon!
In a mean time, feel free to check out our calendar under the “Upcoming Events” menu, which always shows the most up to date information you would need.

Our next GBM will be taking place on Wednesday 7pm-8pm, September 20^th. We are collaborating with the Pre-Physical Therapy club (Pre-PT) and Pre-Occupational Therapy society (Pre-OT) to discuss the connection between neuroscience and physiotherapy. We will touch on the role of neurons in muscle cells and talk about the signal transduction in the body. In addition, Pre-PT and Pre-OT clubs will demonstrate various therapeutic exercises often used in practice by the experts in PT and OT.

Sincerely,

The NeSA
