Systems Neuroscience Journal Club (2016-2017)

 

Organizers: Prof. Nachum Ulanovsky, Prof. Rony Paz, Gily Ginosar and Ayelet Sarel

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: In the first semester we will be meeting every Thursday at 14:15, in the Departmental seminar room (Benoziyo 113) of the Department of Neurobiology. In the second semester we will be meeting every Monday at 14:00.

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: Gily Ginosar (gilyginosar@gmail.com) or to Ayelet Sarel (ayeletsarel@gmail.com).
