Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting

Each year we attend the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, where 25,000 - 30,000 neuroscientists gather to present their research.  Information about the trips is available through the links below.

If you are a serious neuroscience student and want to attend contact Jeff Wilson to be included in informational emails about the next trip.
