IDP COURSE DESCRIPTION

THE BRAIN JOURNAL CLUB (GMS 6029)

IDP Credit: 1

Meeting: Every Monday at 12:00 in room L1-101

Course Requirements
    All IDP students must register for an IDP Journal Club every semester.  Students registered for the first time in the Brain Journal Club must present at least twice, preferably by the end of the second semester.  Grading is based on Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory performance and on attendence for each semester.  Each student must sign-in to record attendance.

Synopsis

    Students will present research publications in the field of neuroscience. Newer graduate students will team with a Mentor (an upper-classman) to assist with their presentation. A two-member Review Panel will be assigned to provide feedback on the Presentation.

Full-length, high impact articles of broad interest to the neuroscience community should be chosen from the more selective, high-tier journals. Each Journal Club article will be announced widely by email and e-prints will be made available in a downloadable format.

Presenter's Responsibilities
Select your article and mentor well in advance.
One week before your talk, email Dr. Muir:

1. The complete, formatted article citation
2. The article eprint as a pdf
3. A concise synopsis of your talk
4. Name of your BJC Mentor
