syn·apse (ˈsinˌaps) As an undergraduate organization at Duke University, we bring together Duke students, neuroscience faculty, and local high school students to appreciate neuroscience together.
Synapse was founded in September 2009 as the CO-SIGN (College Student Interest Group in Neurology).
The goal and purpose of Synapse is to support undergraduate students at Duke University academically, professionally, and socially. We will focus on events that enhance our members’ conceptual and factual understanding of neuroscience and neurology as well as promote networking and community outreach in a social setting. We teach, we learn, we eat, we volunteer together – and it’s all about neuroscience. Everybody is welcome to come see what we’re about – whether you’re a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, teacher, administrator, high school student, middle school student, parent, dragon, drosophila, aplysia… all are welcome!
