The series of lectures by highly-recognized and distinguished scientists has been a resounding success. Each lecture has attracted sold out or near-capacity audiences since the series began in 1995. Lectures have drawn UCI faculty, members of the community and many high school students to the Irvine Barclay Theatre. Due to the success of the program, we are able to bring the world's leading neuroscientists to Irvine to share their research and insights on a number of health-related topics.

Lectures are free and no tickets or reservations are required.
You may simply come to the theatre on the night of the lecture. We suggest, however, that you arrive early for first-tier seating. The question of how function can be restored after brain or spinal cord injury is the subject of intense research and great public interest. Dr. Steward, who holds the Reeve-Irvine Chair in Spinal Cord Injury Research at UCI, is internationally recognized for his research on the cellular and molecular basis of nerve cell growth.
