Graduate Seminars in Neuroscience (1 of 3) Finished 12:15 - 13:15 Videoconferencing Suite

Understanding the brain is widely cited as being the most difficult task facing us today. Ultimately we want the combined knowledge from various approaches to provide us with insight into how nervous systems generate behaviours, and how we can intervene when it goes wrong. More than ever, critical analysis needs to be applied to neuroscience data. This critical ability is an essential component of any scientific training, yet it is often lost during the (relatively short) course of a PhD, where the focus is on generating data. Journal clubs, guest lectures and dicussions will provide a basis for developing critical skills in neuroscience.
