The CNBCI is starting a new Circuit Analysis Special Interest Group. The group is called BOTS – Blazers for Optical Techniques. It is led by Dr. Andrew Hardaway from the Department of Psychiatry. The goal is to bring together researchers (faculty and trainees) who study circuit function using optical techniques such as in vivo optogenetics, fiber photometry, mini-scopes, and other approaches. There is a growing group of such labs at UAB, and several have expressed interest in meeting with others to exchange ideas and develop new collaborations. If you are interested in participating, please email us at CNBCI@uab.edu.
