A biweekly meeting of systems and computational neuroscience laboratories at the University of Oregon. We meet on Tuesdays at 4pm in LISB 217. Click here to subscribe to the email list.

NCB is more than a journal club. It's a place for students, postdocs, and faculty to share their preliminary results and get feedback on papers, conference presentations, or grants being prepared. NCB is also a place to discuss techniques or approaches you think would benefit multiple labs.

Fall 2023: Students should register using CRN 10905 (BI 607 - Sem Neurophysiology).

If interested in presenting your work or moderating a discussion, email James Murray to sign up for a slot.
