Lecture Series

About the Seminars

Each month from September through May, our program hosts an online monthly seminar on a topic related to the brain (for example, Alzheimer’s Disease, Epilepsy, sports-related concussion, and designing a cognitive experiment). Lectures are given by experts across a range of disciplines (e.g., neuropsychology, neurology, neuropathology, neuroimaging), and students are encouraged to participate in active discussion throughout the session. The seminar series is open to all high school students with an interest in studying and learning more about the brain.

Any questions can be directed to the program coordinator at brainstorm@cumc.columbia.edu.
