Workshop

Start Time:09 Oct 2011

End Time:22 Oct 2011

Where:Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Seaside House, 1919-1 Tancha, Onna-son, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa, Japan

The aim of this course is to provide the opportunity for young scientists and researchers to combine classic neuroanatomy with molecular and genomic tools to forward their own scientific research. Leading neuroscientists will teach modules, lead panel discussions and provide individual tutoring in a project oriented course designed to teach molecular neuroanatomy using the ALLEN Brain Atlas resources. This two week course will incorporate intensive training in use of the Allen Brain Atlas resources, course work, panel discussions, scientific presentations, tutorials and individual project time. The venue for this course will be the Seaside House located in Onna Village, a locale with stunning natural beauty.
