Computational Neuroscience V: Seminar on ''Learning and Memory''

Hippocampus (after Ramon y Cajal)

Here is the announcement of the seminar, and here is the list of topics and the literature. Some of the literature is available online, all the other papers you can get from RK. All talks have been filled. Even if you do not present, you are welcome to participate.

The 30-minutes presentations can be given in German or English. All participants of the seminar should thoroughly read the basic literature (Kandel, Hammond). Speakers should meet with the tutors regularly (please contact them soon!). A practice talk is due at least one week before the seminar. A list of hints on how to prepare a presentation is here.

The seminar on ''Learning and Memory'' will take place on Friday, June 27 (no extension to Saturday!) in the seminar room of the Institute for Theoretical Biology (ITB), Invalidenstr. 43. Here is the dedailed schedule in PDF or as HTML:
