Student Organizations

The Central Neuroscience Society is a CMU Registered Student Organization. The club was established by Neuroscience students in order to increase student awareness of current research and to facilitate interdepartmental participation in the field of neuroscience. Central Neuroscience Society hopes to promote research in the area of neuroscience at both the university and community level. This organization provides an interdisciplinary approach so that all of its members from diverse backgrounds can exchange ideas.
