From Dr. Hasselmo: There is a series of lunchtime talks by researchers on Wednesdays at noon (starting Sept. 3) to facilitate discussion and collaborations associated with the new Center for Systems Neuroscience (CSN) at BU. Seminars will also include internal BU speakers and external speakers associated with an NSF EAGER grant that funds a new initiative for the Physics and Mathematics of Neural Systems (IPMNS) to facilitate collaborations between physicists, mathematicians, and neuroscientists. Talks will be in two locations (in adjacent buildings): Rm. B01 at 24 Cummington Mall with lunch afterward in Rm. 103 just upstairs or Rm. 109 at 2 Cummington Mall with lunch served in the same room at the start of the talk Sept 3 - Xue Han, Biomedical Engineering - rm B01 at 24 Cummington Sept 10 - Howard Eichenbaum, Psychological and Brain Sciences - rm B01 Sept 17 - Narayanan "Bobby" Kasthuri, Anatomy and Neurobiology - rm 109 at 2 Cummington Sept 24 - Tim Gardner, Biology - rm 109 Oct 1 - Douglas Rosene, Anatomy and Neurobiology - rm B01 Oct 8 - Van Wedeen, (Harvard Medical School, IPMNS) - rm B01 Oct 15 - Tarik Hatdar, Anatomy and Neurobiology - rm 109 Oct 22 - Barbara Shinn-Cunningham, Biomedical Engineering - rm 109 Oct 29 - Richard H.
