Journal Clubs

The Neuroscience Seminar Journal Club:
For students (required) led by a faculty facilitator. This one credit hour course meets biweekly throughout the academic year and is offered to neuroscience students from all disciplines. The course alternates between student presentations and discussion one week and the scheduled Neuroscience Seminar the next week. Students present a review/critique of a published manuscript from the upcoming speaker’s current research. The host faculty for the seminar speaker facilitates the discussion. Grades are based upon seminar attendance, discussion participation and their presentations. The combination of presentation and discussion prior to the speaker’s visit has proven a very effective tool to increase student participation and enhance their interactions during the seminar and student-speaker lunches.

Current Topics in Sensory Systems Research:
Students and faculty interested in sensory systems research meet once a week to discuss current articles. Meetings are every Tuesday from 12:00-1PM during the Fall and Spring semesters. Meetings are held in room 15 of the Medical Dental Research Building. For more information contact Martha Bickford.

The Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center regularly schedules an informal seminar series discussing current research projects within the KSCIRC and affiliated labs at the University.
