Neuro at JAX Student Publications

Publication in peer-reviewed journals is a very important part of graduate training. Publications by students in the Neuroscience at JAX track in the past several years are listed below. Note that Neuroscience at JAX is a new program and students are just beginning to publish their research. The names of student authors are in bold font.
