Decision Circuits Journal Club

We're discussing recent papers in systems neuroscience with a focus on quantitative behavior, cortical dynamics, cell-types, and neuromodulation.

We meet bi-weekly on Monday at 9.30am on Campus Nord (between Luisenstraße and Philippstraße).

If you'd like to join the discussion please let Antonio know and we'll add you to our e-mail reminders with details on upcoming dates (about one e-mail per meeting/week).

Format

  • Quick round of summaries of recently encountered papers:
  • Intro of the presented paper’s authors (first, last, or in between) and how this relates to past authors and topics
  • OR: intro of guest speaker
