Journal Club name: Neuroscience of Obesity
Research focus: feeding behavior, cell signaling, metabolism, animal models of obesity
This year we will continue our monthly group meeting with one major
change. For the Fall semester, we will try a "traditional" journal club
style instead of our usual data presentation format. 1 or 2 people from
each lab will present papers on a subject of their choosing (within the
realm of the neuroscience of obesity, feeding, metabolism, etc). We will
meet on Fridays (see dates below) from noon-1pm. Pizza and soda will be
provided by the lab responsible for the journal club on that date. I
recommend no more than 2 papers so that we have adequate time for
discussion. To make the most of this journal club, PLEASE read the papers prior to coming.
