    Felix will present data from the Wu lab, "Two modes of fusion pore opening revealed by cell-attached recordings at a synapse"  He et al., Nature, 2006.

1 December 2006    
    David will present data from the Svoboda lab, "Rapid and Reversible Chemical Inactivation of Synaptic Transmission in Genetically Targeted Neurons"  Karpova et al., Neuron, 2005.

24 November 2006    
    There will be no journal club this week for the Thanksgiving holiday.

17 November 2006    
    Kelsey will present a consolidated view on the tetrology of Arc papers from multiple labs:  "Everything you wanted to know about Arc but were afraid to ask" Chowdhury et al., Neuron, 2006 with supplementary data from  Plath et al., Neuron, 2006.  ,  Shepherd et al., Neuron, 2006.   ,  Verde et al., Neuron, 2006. and a minireview for the quick summary  Tzingounis and Nicoll, Neuron, 2006.

10 November 2006    
    There will be no journal club this week as it is a University holiday.

 3 November 2006    
    Rafal will present data from the Sur and Tonegawa labs:  "In vivo Two-Photon Imaging Reveals a Role of Arc in Enhancing Orientation Specificity in Visual Cortex" Wang et al., Cell, 2006 with some other data from  Ohki et al., Nature, 2006.

27 October 2006    
    Felix will present two papers describing the balance between protein synthesis and degradation required for L-LTP Fonseca et al., Neuron, 2006.,  Karpova, J Neuroscience, 2006.

20 October 2006    
    We will have an informal summary of the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

13 October 2006    
    There will be no journal club this week due to the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting.

6 October 2006    
    Carrie will present data from the Sacktor lab:  "Storage of Spatial Information by the Maintenance Mechanism of LTP" Pastalkova et al., Science, 2006 with some supplemental data  Pastalkova, Supplemental.

29 September 2006    
    Tracy will talk about recent findings from the Schuman lab, "Miniature neurotransmission stabilizes synaptic function via tonic suppression of local dendritic protein synthesis."  Sutton et al., Cell, 2006.

22 September 2006    
    Tom will talk about recent findings on LTP.  One such topic is illustrated in  Plant et al., Nature Neurocience, 2006.

15 September 2006    
    Dean will present two completely unrelated papers:  "Learning induces LTP" Whitlock et al., Science, 2006.and "Irrational Decisions and the Amygdala".  De Martino, Science, 2006.

8 September 2006    
    Spencer will present his own work, "Binocular competition and visual experience regulate refinement of visual cortex circuitry prior to the critical period.  The critical period is not an epoch of plasticity, it is a layover".
