[Neuropostdocs] breakfast with Leah Krubitzer on March 10

[Julie Markham]

Hi everybody,

The trainees on the Sensory and Developmental Neuroscience Training 
Grants will be hosting Dr. Leah Krubitzer of UC-Davis  as our  invited 
seminar speaker this semester. She will be giving a lecture in the ASDN 
seminar on Friday March 10 from 1-2p.m. in the tower room on the 2nd 
floor of Beckman. All NSP postdocs are are of course welcome to attend 
the seminar (free lunch  included!). Christian has also helped me to 
arrange for the NSP postdoc association to take Dr. Krubitzer to 
breakfast at the Courier on Friday March 10, as we have been doing with 
the NSP seminar speakers. I hope as many of you as possible can join 
us. Below is a link to her lab website and a synopsis of her research 
interests. Please let me know if you will be joining us for breakfast.

Description of research:
"Our laboratory is currently involved in two major areas of research.  
The first area includes studies on the evolution of complex nervous 
systems and the genetic and activity dependent mechanisms that 
contribute to phenotypic variability during development.  The second 
area includes studies in human and non-human primates of neocortical 
areas involved in manual dexterity, bilateral coordination of the 
hands, proprioception, and the generation of body centered coordinates 
for goal directed reaching."
