2007 NRU Conference
We'd like to send out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Neuroscience Conference. I think you'll all agree that it was a huge success and obviously it couldn't have been done without you. You're all undeniably inspirational!

Thirty Years of Neuroscience at Nipissing
On the 30th anniversary of the Nipissing University Neuroscience Research Unit, Nipissing University is hosting a conference to celebrate the success of the many students who have gone on to graduate careers and beyond. The conference will take place on Friday and Saturday (July 27 & 28) at the main campus in North Bay. The attendees will be presenting a full program of conference papers. The keynote address will be delivered on Friday evening, at the conference banquet, by Dr. Bruce Pappas.
The following is a preliminary list of the papers that will be presented at the conference:
