Theoretical Neuroscience Course Part II 2006 This is the second part of the theoretical neuroscience course, following part I. The focus of part II is more biological than that of part I. There will be two sessions per week (but not all weeks): one two-hour lecture by a researcher from the field and a two-hour reading session during two students will present a few relevant papers, sometimes jointly with the lecturer. The course is open to anybody from the Universty of London. If you'd like to attend, please send us an email.
