SpikeClub is a student organized journal club reviewing recent papers in systems neuroscience. We meet every other Friday at noon in the Yale Medical School Dome Room (SHM C-500). Meetings are generously supported by the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program and the Swartz Initiative in Theoretical Neurobiology at Yale. For more information, email Matthew Krause, Chris Donahue, or Nate Smith.
Upcoming
We are currently looking for presenters for our Fall meetings. If you are interested in presenting an article, please contact us.
