Don’t sleep on it: In this week’s installment of Why is That?, Jade Zee, assistant director of the behavioral neuroscience program, explores why yawns are so contagious.

We are very excited to share these and congratulate all of the winners.

Congratulations to Students to Seniors, especially their BNS graduating senior co-founders, Noelle Castilla Ojo and Chloe Nobuhara, for their Husky Innovation Award.

Singhal attended the wrong orientation as an incoming freshman. No big deal. It just sparked her curiosity, inspired her to switch majors, and led to transformative research and co-op experiences. Next month, she’ll share the highlights of her journey when she delivers the student commencement address on May 5—the same day she turns 23.

Behavioral Neuroscience graduating senior, Pankhuri Singhal (far right with other NEURONs members), has been selected as this year’s student commencement speaker. Among her various activities and achievements at Northeastern, she has served on our NEURONs club executive board as Treasurer and Co-President, is a member of our Nu Rho Psi National Honor Society in Neuroscience […]

Can disposable diapers help us understand a new technology that could reveal how the brain generates thoughts, feelings, behavior, and sensations? The answer is yes, according to neuroengineer Edward Boyden, who tonight will deliver the keynote address for Northeastern’s Brain Awareness Week.
