The Columbia Neuroscience Seminars series is a collection of invited talks by national and international researchers in the field of neuroscience.

The seminars are open to Columbia affiliates and take place at the Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute or Columbia University Irving Medical Center.   

Speakers are chosen by a selection committee composed of faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students from across Columbia's campuses. The committee solicits nominations for speakers broadly from the Columbia community before inviting speakers whose work represents various fields and techniques in Neuroscience. 

See the spring 2024 schedule, part of Tuesdays@10.

Columbia Neuroscience Seminars are open to Columbia ID holders only. If you are not a member of the Zuckerman Institute and would like to receive updates about these and other events, please sign up for the ZI Community Listserv.
