Talk Title: TBD Josie Clowney, PhD Principal Investigator & Associate Professor, Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology University of Michigan Our lab seeks to understand how neural circuits are organized in the brain to allow animals to perform survival behaviors–like feeding, fighting, fleeing, mating, parenting, and sleeping–under the right circumstances. We think the best way to […]
