The Neural Systems & Behavior Course (Marine Biol. Lab) is an amazing opportunity to learn about many different approaches to studying nervous system control of many behaviors. Learn from experts, expand your science network, go to "science summer camp"!

Seeking MS or PhD students for NIH-funded project. How do neuromodulators regulate neurons & synapses to switch between rhythmic circuit outputs? Highly supportive environment to learn electrophysiology & gain presentation (regional/national meetings), writing & mentoring skills.
