Dr. Pawley -
I would be very interested in attending the course. I was wondering if I
could find out a little more about the research groups that have already
been set up? Is there a participant list or a defined project list
available? We are looking to do some eye-preps in mice or rats (possibly
frog if no rodents are available there?) - looking at growth cones in the
LGN. If it's possible to try this type of experiment, I would definitely
attend.
Also, is there any sort of scholarship available for this course?
Thank you very much.
