Redwood Theoretical Neuroscience Videos Online

Posted by Stephen Larson at 12:38 PM EST

Last year, the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience moved from the Redwood Neuroscience Institute in Meno Park to the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at Berkeley. In October they held a symposium with several interesting speakers presenting on various topics within Theoretical Neuroscience.

The videos are now online for your perusal, or you can buy a DVD of the whole symposium for a paltry $5.
