Systems Neuroscience Journal Club (2012-2013)

Organizers: Nachum Ulanovsky, Rony Paz & Arseny Finkelstein

Link to last year (2011-2012)

 

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, Imaging and Optogenetics methods in vivo.

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

 

Where & When: We will be meeting every Monday at 12:00, 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:

Arseny Finkelstein (arsenyf@gmail.com).
