Renowned Neurologist V.S. Ramachandran Speaks to NSU Community

The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences welcomed renowned neurologist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, M.D., Ph.D., to NSU on Mar. 24 as part of the college’s Distinguished Speakers Series. Speaking to a crowd of more than 400 students, faculty, and guests, Ramachandran’s lecture on “The Neurology of Human Nature” included an overview of research and case studies involving the brain.

Ramachandran’s lecture followed a private seminar with students and an informal reception with faculty and guests. Earlier in the week, faculty from the college’s Division of Math, Science, and Technology and the Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences hosted a panel to inform students about possible careers in neuroscience.

Ramachandran is currently the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition in the Psychology Department and Neurosciences Program at the University of California—San Diego and adjunct professor of biology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. His most recent book is titled The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Quest for What Makes Us Human (2011).
