Seminars

The department hosts weekly in person Wohl Internal (WIn) seminars and hybrid Wohl External (WEx) seminars. We regularly host international speakers presenting cutting-edge research on a wide range neuroscience topics relevant to departmental interests.


If you would like to attend a WEx seminar please contact the host.
