The Synapse

The Synapse is a Columbia University organization that makes neuroscience accessible, approachable, and inspiring. We untangle complex ideas about the brain and share them with the public in creative and thought-provoking ways. From panels and symposiums to podcasts and interviews, we invite neuroscience leaders to share meaningful insights from their areas of research and expertise. Our community spans numerous fields, passions, and countries. Join us on Instagram @the.synapse.nyc to learn how neuroscience affects our daily lives - explore brain-mind-body connections, learn about how we dream, find mind-altering book recommendations, and so much more.
