"Transparent Animals"

I went to one of the most interesting lectures this past week. It was about nerve cells and research for regeneration. The name of the lecture was "Using Transparent animals and florescent nerve cells to understand the brain and behavior." It was given by Joseph R. Fetcho. He is a professor at Cornell University. The University of Oklahoma Cellular & behavioral neurobiology graduate program and the Sam Noble Museum are the hosts. Amazing stuff!

The next lecture is called "Thinking like a leech: Complex decisions in a simple nervous system. William B Kristan, Jr is a professor at the University of California, San Diego, and will be giving this lecture.

I will keep you updated!
