The Brain Matters Seminars are a joint initiative of the University of the Witwatersrand, the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study (of the University of Johannesburg and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), the Southern African Neuroscience Society (SANS) and the Wits Cortex Club.
This is an interdisciplinary seminar series that explores the past, present and future of neuroscience in southern Africa, with the aim of building a network of researchers that are dedicated to advancing the field in this region.
There will be five seminars held in April, May, August, October and December 2017. These seminars will have a multidisciplinary neuroscience focus and will cover topics that are both locally relevant and internationally significant.
