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.
Guidelines for effective journal club presentations can be found here.
Journal club is held in HSRF 400 as noted below. Fall semester on Fridays from 12:00-1:00 pm; Spring semester on Wednesdays from 12:00-1:00-pm.
2012-2013: Neuronal Plasticity (topic guidelines)
Last Year's Topic was "Disorders and syndromes in the developing nervous system".
Fall Student coordinators: Abbie Chapman and Anthony. The articles below are linked to .pdf files via PubMed. (Download Adobe® Reader.) |

*Reminder that during fall semseter, first year students are in another class on some dates, and excused. If a student will be absent he/she must contact the student coordinator and Dr. Nishi to be excused.
**Students who have proposed their dissertation research more than a year ago will present a dissertation research update instead of presenting a journal article.
