Systems Neuroscience was held on October 5, 6, 2022, and Brain science seminar series Ex on October 7, 2022.

Prof. Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui, members of the NGP Educational Affairs Committee, organized Systems Neuroscience and Brain Science Seminar Series Ex at Katahira Campus.

Prof. Sven Bestmann at Institute of Neurology, University College London (UCL) was invited to give lectures on moter system and his research.

After the lectures, many questions and comments were raised by the NGP students and graduate students, and the discussion went lively.
