The goal of this assignment to help you develop this essential skill. You are asked to read two primary scientific papers during the term.
Papers can be on any neurobiologically-relevant topic from any primary journal.
My suggestion is that you choose a paper from a recent Nature or Science - these are usually short, interesting, and topical, and most issues have at least one neurobiology paper. Other journals can also be used. Since you might have inadvertently chosen a paper that is too difficult, check with me first before you get too far into it. Please attach a copy of the title page and abstract. Include all controls and explain why they were necessary.
