Note that NEUR 630 and NEUR 631 are intended as accelerated survey courses in cellular & molecular neuroscience and systems neuroscience respectively. If you feel your background in neurobiology is weak, these courses are intended for you, to expose you to the critical foundations in neuroscience. If you already have a strong neuroscience background (e.g., undergraduate or MSc degree in Neuroscience) you may find these courses add very little to your training. In this case we strongly urge you to apply for an exemption from NEUR 630 and/or NEUR 631 so that you can take more specialized graduate seminar courses instead. Although they are listed as required core courses, we enthusiastically encourage you to seek the exemption if you are eligible
Note that our core courses are not open to non-McGill students.
NEUR 705 - Mandatory Course
Effective as of September 2010, all IPN students must complete the NEUR 705 course in order to graduate from the program.
NEUR 705 is a research course worth zero credits. The objectives of NEUR 705 are to teach and familiarize students on the responsible conduct of research, so that they are able to identify and assess ethical issues that may arise in research, and handle research integrity conflicts that may arise in their own work/studies.
More information on the course is available here.
Winter 2021: NEUR 705 lectures will be conducted remotely, via Zoom. They will be held on Thursday, March 11, 2021, from 12:30 - 5:00 PM E.T., and on Thursday, March 18, 2021, from 12:30 - 5:00 PM E.T.

Overview: This interdisciplinary course invites students to creatively explore the intersection of arts, neuroscience, and society, and how these domains shape the understandings of ourselves and others. IPN Ph.D. students and RI-MUHC BRaIN students, in collaboration with Concordia University's Fine Arts students, create self-directed, collaborative projects which converge artistic and scientific research. The course combines lectures, debates, site visits, and independent study to encourage all participants to understand and discover territories outside their artistic or scientific comfort zones. The course encourages both intimate and large group discussions, as well as expressing arts and science knowledge through production, representations, and artistic as well as communicative outcomes.
Requirements:
- Must be a Ph.D. student. If you are a Master's student, obtain a letter of recommendation and special permission from your P.I. and the Graduate Program Director;
- Submit a letter of intent to info [at] convergenceinitiative.org ;
- Once your request is approved by the Convergence administrative team, you may register for the course via the 'Inter-University transfer Authorization' application portal at BCI.

Undergraduate Courses
If your supervisor requests that you enrol in an undergraduate course because it may be beneficial to your graduate research, you must do the following:
- E-mail the IPN office (ipn [at] mcgill.ca) with proof that your supervisor has given you approval to enrol in an undergraduate course;
- Complete the 'Request for Registration/Course Changes' form.
- Important: On page 3 of the form, when asked what the 'reason for requesting the UG course' is, you must select 'extra course' if you do not want this course to affect your graduate cGPA. Otherwise, selecting the option 'additional coursework only' will cause your grade in this course to affect your graduate cGPA.
Note that if you are enrolling in this course at another Quebec university (via the Quebec Inter-University Transfer method), then this may be the only course you can enrol in via this method for the rest of your degree.
