$35

Glia Supporter

This covers the cost of one poster for one student. Much like the glia that provide neurons with energy and help maintain synapses, a little bit can go a long way towards long term stability.

$50

Neurotransmitter Sponsor

Contributes toward our goal of providing one student the opportunity to conduct research for a full semester. Reuptake transporters help regulate the tonic levels of different modulators and neurotransmitters and this donation is no different, helping to remove excess stress to allow students to pursue their academic interests with fewer financial stressors.

$100

Synapse Sponsor

Provide funding for 3 student poster presentations. Equivalent to the short-lived plasticity boost from a paired pulse in electrophysiological experiments. A little push can go a long way.

$250

Dendrite Sponsor

Contributes toward our goal of providing one student the opportunity to conduct research for a full semester. Not everything can be done at the synaptic level, and cross talk between dendrites via dendritic potentials is enough for nonlinear computation to arise. In much the same way, true education in the neurosciences involves getting your hands into the throes of research, not just at the lecture level.

$535

Neuron Sponsor

This covers one students' fees for two semesters, plus the poster for the poster session. This allows them to be paid for their time in lab independently of the lab's funding, for the entire duration of the program. Equivalent to the larger spatial scale plasticity that allows for neurons within a area perpendicular to the brain's surface to achieve similar functionality, and stability like the columns of the Parthenon.

$1,070

Circuit Sponsor

This covers two students' fees for two semesters, plus each of their posters. Fund two students and we can achieve a better chance of community and support systems that will help students remain in the program and research more broadly. Just like people, brain regions don't work in isolation, and this tier is equivalent to the song and dance of neural dynamics that give rise to cognition.

$3,000

Network Sponsor

This covers six students' fees for two semesters, plus each of their posters. Fund six students and we can achieve a better chance of community and support systems that will help students remain in the program and research more broadly. Neural networks demonstrate the interconnectedness of our nervous system, and your donation will ensure that more students will have the chance to connect with their passion of neuroscience.

$6,000

WHOLE BRAIN Sponsor!!!

This covers twelve students' fees for two semesters, plus each of their posters. Fund twelve students and we can achieve a better chance of community and support systems that will help students remain in the program and research more broadly. Just like people, brain regions don't work in isolation, and this tier is equivalent to the song and dance of neural dynamics that give rise to cognition.
