SYNAPSE is an undergraduate-led club based at the University of Toronto (Scarborough Campus) whose mission is to promote discussion, inspire interest, and bring awareness in the field of neuroscience. Welcome to SYNAPSE’s Initiatives page! Our dedicated team of Executive Members and Volunteers create content for nine different social media initiatives (as of now :D), in which we explore various topics in the field of neuroscience!
