The Chicago Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience (CSFN) is a local affiliate of the National Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. The CSFN is composed of academic and industry based scientists who are interested in the field of neuroscience. This includes researchers, teachers, students and interested public. Our membership includes individuals on faculty at all of the major academic centers and many of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in the Chicago area.
In brief, the goals of the Chapter are:
- provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information and ideas between Chicago-area neuroscientists;
- through community outreach, offer educational resources and opportunities for teachers, students and the public at large.
Each Spring, the Chapter sponsors an Annual Meeting designed to bring scientists, teachers, students and the public together to learn about and discuss the latest advances in Neuroscience research and education.
We also sponsor the annual Chicago High School "Brain Bee" which gives area high school students an opportunity to learn and demonstrate their knowledge about brain science.
We are also able to provide speakers as well as educational materials to students, grammar and high school teachers as well as other organizations in the area who want to know about the brain and Neuroscience research. Contact the Chapter Secretary for more information
Other upcoming seminars and Neuroscience related events in the Chicago area can be found under Announcements. Announcements of other research and educational opportunities will also be posted here.
All researchers, practitioners, educators and students in the Chicago area are encouraged to become members of the Chicago Chapter, whether you are members of the Society for Neuroscience or not. Membership in the Chapter is simple - registration and payment of fees to the Annual meeting is all that's required to take advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the Chapter.
