LSU MIND
Welcome to LSU MIND! We are the newly-founded Multidisciplinary Initiative for Neuroscience Discovery at Louisiana State University.
The field of neuroscience addresses fundamental questions about the organization and function of the nervous system, as well as changes that occur as a result of development, experience, injury, and disease. Increasing our understanding of such phenomena poises us to recognize and promote adaptive patterns in behavior and neurological function, to the benefit of our local community and the greater population. Our mission is to coordinate and strengthen research, training, and community outreach opportunities related to neuroscience at LSU.

News Highlights: Introducing the Baton Rouge Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience!
We are very pleased to announce that a group of MIND members, led by Dr. Alexander Murashov, have successfully reactivated the Baton Rouge Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN)!
On March 8, 2024, we held the Inaugural Chapter Symposium, Bringing Minds Together, at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. The event was attended by 126 participants from various departments and schools, including LSU A&M, PBRC, HRSA/NHDP, Southern University, LSU New Orleans, Tulane, and Xavier University, and featured a keynote address from Dr. Nicolas G. Bazan form the LSU School of Medicine.
