Developmental Neurobiology Journal Club (DNJC)

Initiated by Melis Inan in Dr. Crair lab and several other labs including
Dr. Vaccarino lab

We'll be meeting biweekly on Wednesdays from 12-1 pm or 1-2 pm when noted in room SHM C325 except when noted (see 10/31).
The subject of the papers can be any aspect of nervous system development (i.e: neural specification/differentiation/migration, axon targeting, synapse formation/maturation, regeneration, developmental disease) in any organism and any brain area as well as PNS.
The format of the presentation is up to the person presenting although showing the pdf file through the projector for figures in color is the minimum. (There is a projector in SHM C325).
Please let Melis Inan (melis.inan at yale.edu) or Carol Russo (carol.russo at yale.edu) know if you have any questions/comments.
