From Dolphins to Humans – Translational Neuroscience

6/5/2024  4:00 - 5:00pm

Dolphins, like humans, possess incredible cognitive skills. They also have sensory and physiological specializations that allow them to flourish in marine environments.

Join researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, New College of Florida and the University of St. Andrews for a discussion about how studies of dolphins not only satisfy our scientific curiosity, but inform how we think about and treat dysfunction of the human brain.

To join us, register here by June 4. You will receive a Zoom login link in your confirmation email. If you have any questions, contact CMUevents@andrew.cmu.edu.
