Welcome to the Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience
We are a hub for neuroscientists to collaborate with mathematicians, physicists and engineers to find creative solutions to some of the most difficult problems currently facing neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Faculty affiliated with the CTCN represent a variety of scientific disciplines from the Schools of Engineering, Medicine, and Arts & Sciences at Washington University. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in theoretical and computational neuroscience are an integral part of this collaborative, creative ecosystem of scholars. CTCN postdocs receive interdisciplinary mentorship from faculty with complementary expertise. CTCN members meet regularly at our Computational Neuroscience seminars.
