Undergraduate computational neuroscience students complete their first quarter
Twelve undergraduate students majoring in Neurobiology, Applied and Computational Mathematics or Physics have just completed their winter quarter where they participated in a new section of NBIO 301 that was supplemented by an introductory course in mathematical and computational approaches to single cell biophysics, dynamics and coding. These students will be joining research labs in Spring 2012.
