Symposium for Young Neuroscientists And Professors of the SouthEast
(SYNAPSE)
SYNAPSE is a one-day regional undergraduate neuroscience conference
that was inspired by NEURON in
the Northeast. A very successful first SYNAPSE meeting at James Madison University
in 2003 demonstrated interest and demand for the symposium. In 2006
this important undergraduate neuroscience meeting returned. Davison College hosted the conference in 2006 and 2007. The College of Charleston hosted the conference for 2008 and 2009.
SYNAPSE
provides opportunities for students to:
Present their research results and obtain feedback from neuroscientists
at other institutions via poster presentations.
Discuss important issues in neuroscience training via workshops and panel
discussions.
Learn about cutting-edge research via a keynote speaker.
Form and potentiate connections with other neuroscientists in the region.
