The Neuroscience Axis is hosting a special conference to raise awareness of war and its effects on mental health of veterans, civilians and refugees. Unfortunately, people who undergo an extremely traumatic sequence of events tend to develop psychological and often neurological disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  Amazing SBU neuroscientists and medical doctors who specialize in mental health research will share their perspective on the physical and biological risks of long lasting effects of war-related events and explain the latest findings from their studies. Join us on Wednesday, April 3rd 7-9:30pm in SAC Ballroom B to network with renowned SBU researchers, discover new research opportunities and learn more about Neuroscience of War!

Hello everyone!

With the ongoing advance of technology, we are seeing a greater bond between the fields of engineering and neuroscience. If you are into engineering or biology, and want to learn more about this blooming industry, come to our meeting this Wednesday, from 7pm to 9pm in Life Sciences 038, to see how neuroscience and engineering join spheres! We are collaborating with Biomedical Engineering Society to demonstrate the application of human to human interface and arduino boards. Dr. Craig Evinger from the Department of Neurobiology will also be joining us to give his presentation about new exciting advancements made in biomedical engineering!

We hope to see you all there!

Hello everyone!

For the upcoming GBM next week (April 4th), the Neuroscience Axis is hosting a panel of outstanding Stony Brook alumni who followed their unique pathways into medicine. The goal of this event is to raise awareness of various medical programs available to pre-med students after graduation. So if you are unsure about your future plans, or you are simply interested in ideas for your gap year,  here you will have an incredible opportunity to discover different ways of transitioning into medicine and healthcare.

The panel will be hosted on April 4th 7-8pm in Life Sciences Seminar Room 038.

Hello everyone!

This week, we’ll go over how the visual system and optical illusions work. We’ll also have crafting materials so everyone can make their own Newton disk that creates an optical illusion!

As a reminder, we won’t have a general body meeting next week due to Thanksgiving. Additionally, there won’t be any Neurobiology or Neurology grand rounds that week.

GBMs are held at 7pm in Life Sciences Seminar room 038.
