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.
