Neuroscience Seminar Series

Berkeley Neuroscience and the Neurobiology division of the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology jointly host a biweekly Neuroscience seminar series, with notable speakers from across the world. In addition, the Neuroscience PhD Program runs a separate Neuroscience Graduate Student Seminar Series, in which graduate students select, invite, and host speakers (2-4 speakers per year). Hosted speakers join PhD students in group discussions, presentations, and social events, in addition to the seminar. Seminars are held on Thursdays at 3:30 PM in 101 LSA.

Brain Lunch

Brain Lunch is a weekly, one-hour seminar organized by and for the Berkeley Neuroscience community. Typically, the program includes talks from fourth-year students on their thesis work; journal clubs on neuro-related speakers invited to Berkeley; and presentations from post-docs on their past or current research.

For Spring 2020, Brain Lunch will be held at 12 pm on Mondays in 545 LKS. Speakers and topics are announced on the postdoc and PhD student email lists.

Other Seminar Series

Neuroscience seminars are also hosted by a variety of other programs, including The Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, Department of Psychology, Vision Science Graduate Program, and Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience.
