Join us for socialization, NSA updates, and a fun and educational journal club presented by our very own Public Relations officer, Suraiya Alam! In her own words, here's a bit more about the compelling presentaion you can expect:

In the season of Saint Valentine, we are reminded of love at every corner. However, even with the tradition of dedicating an entire day a year to romance, the effects of the human pair-bonded state of “romantic love” on cognitive function still remain relatively unexplored. Many theories suggest that a state of love may improve mentalizing abilities. On the other hand, recent fMRI research on individuals who are in love suggests that several brain regions associated with mentalizing may be “deactivated” during the presentation of a love prime. How does love really affect our cognition? Come find out in this journal club!

Not only do humans have the ability to learn language, but it seems like we have a natural inclination to do so. What's the neurological mechanism for driving the behavior to learn language? Is it just happenstance that humans pick up language, or is there a motivational drive behind it? Find out during this journal club!

Join us for an information session presented by Robert Stephens, MNM, the Associate Director of Admissions at the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM)!

• BCM is the 2nd-fastest growing research institution in North America

• BCM is ranked 5th in the nation in funding for neuroscience research

• Grad School of Biomed Sci has state-of-the-art research facilities for molecular neurobiology, neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, biophysics, behavioral neuroscience, optical imaging, functional human brain imaging and computer science.

Enjoying new friendships or catching up with old ones? Join us in our discussion about social rewards we experience through social decision making and conversations. We will explore neurological pathways that affect our emotions as well as areas of the brain that are activated. Find out why you feel a sense of familiarity to someone who says your name in conversation.
