Topics in Contemporary Neuroscience

2 Units · Graduate

The aim of the course is to explore at high resolution the process of doing basic neuroscience. Each week, a different instructor will lead a literature-based seminar focused specifically on their own work. In discussing their work, often in the context of other related work in the field, instructors will closely narrate how their work came to be. The course is intended for those that (a) are actively engaged in basic neuroscience research, and (b) have sufficient fluency with fundamental neuroscience to read contemporary papers with some degree of understanding and criticality.
