The purpose of this organization is to strengthen the relationship between faculty, undergraduate and graduate students interested in Neuroscience and related disciplines; to encourage and cultivate an ongoing dialogue within the academic community; to connect students socially who are interested in Neuroscience in an open forum; to expose these students to a dialogue that informs them of the present workings of the field and the opportunities therein; to facilitate community outreach; and to educate, encourage, and expose high school students to the interdisciplinary field of Neuroscience and help them gain interest and consider the University of Massachusetts-Amherst Neuroscience program and related organization.

Cool Cognitive Talk TODAY!!
Mon, 11/10/2008 - 16:46 — Tania MotchnikHello!
Just to remind you guys, there is a really great Neuroscience and Behavior (NSB) talk today (Monday Nov 10) in Tobin 521B.
It is about our ability to learn by observing others, and it sounds like it will be very good! (I'm excited!)
If you get to go, it would be great for you to bring a little something you learned from the talk to Wednesday's meeting for the 'Neural Tidbits' share time (no pressure, though).
This is a great opertunity to meet professors in the NSB program and explore your own interests (!) by seeing what's out there. Enjoy!
Love, The B.R.A.I.N.

Volunteering at the VA Hospital
Sun, 09/28/2008 - 15:06 — Tania MotchnikA few of us usually volunteer at the veteran's affairs hospital on Sundays at 1pm. We have been working in the nursing home unit, playing games and helping people get to activities. If people express interest, we could start expanding our outreach to the drug rehabilitation unit.
If you would like to volunteer or learn more about volunteering, post something here or email me at peter.krafft@gmail.com
If anything changes and I remember that this discussion topic exists, I will post updates here.
You can check out the VA webpage here.
