The BrainMap seminar series is offered by and for researchers using neuroimaging to study brain structure and function. Presented by invited speakers from around the world, as well as by investigators who call the Martinos Center home, the talks cover the gamut of topics – with a particular focus on using imaging to map the highways and byways and the many hidden corners of the living human brain. Explore the range of talks below and learn more about the fascinating work of the world-class scientists who have presented as part of the series.
