Systems Neuroscience Journal Club (2012-2012)

Organizers: Nachum Ulanovsky, Rony Paz & Michael Yartsev

 

Aim: Our aim is to keep up-to-date with new and exciting papers in Systems Neuroscience, published in high impact journals, with particular emphasis to papers using Neurophysiology and Imaging methods in vivo.

Participants: The Journal Club welcomes all students and faculty members wishing to discuss recent innovative research in the field of Systems Neuroscience.

 

Where & When: We will be meeting every Monday at 11:00, at the "Departmental seminar room" (Benoziyo 113) of the Department of Neurobiology.   

 

Below is the list of available dates. Students and faculty members interested in presenting a paper at the journal club should send their choice of date to:

Michael Yartsev (michael.yartsev@gmail.).
