-Event- RIKEN Brain Science Institute Summer Program 2016 Data: 6/20/2016-6/24/2016 Location: Japan
Call for applications for the RIKEN BSI Summer Program 2016 Research and Intensive Lecture Course Opportunities in Japan.
Staking, Marking and Breaking Circuits
Modern neuroscience approaches have made identifying, measuring and manipulating specific neural circuits, and as a consequence the behavior they support, a reality. This course will feature lectures from leaders in the field who are applying circuit based approaches to topics ranging from development to decision making.
Schedule: (Plan A) Internship and Lecture Course, June 15 - August 10, 2016 (Plan B) Lecture Course, June 20 – 24, 2016 *We will accept 15 interns for the Internship and Lecture Course (Plan A) and 30 participants for the Lecture Course (Plan B).
Deadline for applications: February 29, 2016
