The UC Davis Medical Center neuroanatomy lecture series is a training series on neuroanatomy, that was organized for pre- and postdoctoral students affiliated with UCDMC. Instructions are intended to develop a working vocabulary about neuroanatomical structures and pathways involved in human behavior. The format is open and discussion is encouraged. Meetings will be held the first Thursday of each month between 2:00 and 5:00. Guests may be allowed to participate only upon prior request. Participants are encouraged to read chapters in preparation for lectures. There will be a combined total of twelve presentations, and each will last between two and three hours.
