The Behavior Journal Club explores recent papers in the field of behavioral neuroscience with a focus on circuit dissection, new behavioral assays, and model characterization. The journal club meets every 4 weeks on Friday at 3pm, unless noted. Anyone interested is welcome to participate!

Journal Club Format: the person who picks the paper preps a slide deck of the figures and any background they want to share, then we take turns each presenting a figure.
