Approaches to Study Neural Circuits

The class is now finished. All 11 lectures are recorded and available to watch. All course materials, including assigned readings and lecture slides, are under the "code" tab, or in the "View code" folder if you're on a mobile device.

We have done our best to ensure all of the course material is accurate, but any necessary corrections will be in each lecture folder. If there are any questions or problems, or if you note any inaccuracies or important omissions, email luke@sjulsonlab.org
