Aging & Brain Health Stakeholders Meeting and Community Brain Health Salon Luncheon
2025-02-07 11:30 - 13:30
Date:
Friday, FEBRUARY 7th, 2025.
11:30am Aging & Brain Health Alliance Community Stakeholders Meeting &/or
12:30pm Community Brain Health Salon Luncheon
Location:
Both held in Rutgers University-Newark’s Aidekman Neuroscience Center at 197 University Avenue, Newark, NJ.
We ask that you RSVP as soon as possible to both of these, but no later than Monday, February 3rd, so we can place catering orders in time. Please click on the following reservation link to indicate whether you wish to join us for either or both:
https://forms.gle/RG6QN3LPznumzf5R7
NEW PARTNERS WELCOME: If you know someone else within Rutgers or the Greater Newark community who would like to connect with our aging and brain health community, please don’t hesitate to invite them along as well, as long as you and they RSVP online using the link above (where they can indicate they are your guest)
Additional information:
NOTE: If you have any problems on day of the event, you should call
Gluck Lab Main Number: (973) 353-3668
Lisa Haber-Chalom/Lab Manager mobile: (201) 888-0437 (call or text if lost or having other issues)
Mark Gluck mobile #: (917) 669 6004 (better to text me, rather than call)
PARKING:
Visitors can utilize either street parking or one of several public garages nearby. The most commonly used garage is the parking garage located down University Ave past Raymond Blvd called Edison ParkFast (83 Academy St, Newark, NJ 07102). They also have another garage a little further away at 100 Washington Street. Both the 11:30am meeting and 12:30pm luncheon will take place in the Aidekman Neuroscience Center with the address of 197 University Avenue. However, our building is “hidden” behind the new Life Sciences II Building. Thus, you should actually enter through the Life Sciences II building at 205 University Avenue, then proceed to the back of the lobby (behind the larger staircase in the middle) to the glass doors at the back which say “Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience”. We will be just beyond those glass doors.

Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group
2025-01-13 12:00 - 13:00
The new Rutgers Network Neuroscience Interest Group brings together researchers interested in understanding the organization of brain structure and function through the lens of network science. We view this field broadly and encourage participation from researchers working with both preclinical and human data and at different scales of analysis, including both mesoscale (involving populations of neurons) and macroscale (involving different brain regions).
Dr. Linden Parkes will present an Introduction to Network Neuroscience.
