Systems Neuroscience Journal Club (2014-2015)
Organizers: Dr. Nachum Ulanovsky, Dr. Rony Paz, Arseny Finkelstein
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 and When: We will be meeting every Monday at 15:00, in 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).
