- Daniel Levenstein, Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University, who will present: “Sequential predictive learning is a unifying theory for hippocampal representation and replay” on 27 February 2025
- Chris Zimmerman, Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton Neuroscience Institute, who will present: “Learning from delayed postingestive feedback” on 13 March 2025
- Noel Federman, Researcher at Institute of Biomedical Research Buenos Aires, who will present: “Beyond the smell: Non-olfactory signals in the olfactory cortex and their influence on sensory discrimination” on 3 April 2025.
Tyler Boyd-Meredith, ENSS committee member and Senior Research Fellow at SWC, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming series:
“It was an honour to read so many impressive and interesting applications for SWC’s Emerging Neuroscientists Seminar Series. I’m looking forward to meeting with and hearing from the speakers we selected and wish we could invite many more!
Fellow ENSS committee member and Senior Research Fellow at SWC, Shohei Furutachi, also shared his excitement:
“We’re excited to announce that this year’s Emerging Neuroscientists Seminar Series features an outstanding line-up of four speakers visiting SWC from around the world. We look forward to insightful discussions with these early-career researchers as they present their cutting-edge work in systems neuroscience, sparking new ideas and potential collaborations.”
SWC is committed to fostering innovation and collaboration in neuroscience, and our ENSS provides a platform for early career neuroscientists to share their research and engage with the London neuroscience community. We eagerly anticipate the contributions of this year’s speakers and the stimulating conversations their presentations will inspire.
Full details of the upcoming seminars will be announced on our Events page in due course. If you are interested in finding out more and applying for next year’s ENSS, please look out for the announcement of the application process in late spring 2025.
About SWC ENSS
SWC ENSS first launched in 2018 with the aim of fostering scientific exchange and collaboration with the global neuroscience community. Each year, SWC hosts four exceptional early career neuroscientists giving them the opportunity to present, as part of the regular SWC seminar series, and discuss their science with SWC faculty, postdocs and students.
