Throughout the academic year, McGill Vision Research and the Centre for Research in Neuroscience host the weekly BRaIN Seminar Series, as part of the RI-MUHC BRaIN Program. The topics cover numerous aspects of experimental neuroscience, and our speakers include international as well as local leaders in their respective fields.
When : Wednesdays at 12 noon (unless otherwise stated).
Where: CRN seminar room, Montreal General Hospital, Livingston Hall, L7-140, with hybrid option
