ANNB 381/382 is a graduate student-run journal club with research presentations and critical review of the literature in the neurosciences. Participation is open to all graduate students, but required of Neuroscience Graduate Program and Anatomy and Neurobiology Graduate students each semester.
Participants can review
course guidelines here. Journal club is held in HSRF 400 (unless otherwise noted):
