Graduate study in Neuroscience

[kara at uctvax.uct.ac.za]

Hello fellow netters,

I am presently completing a MSc(Med) degree at UCT (SA).
I hope to start a Ph.d. in Neuroscience in the US next
year. I have been working on the visual system for the
past two years and would like to continue in that area in
an attempt to understand cortical computation at the
microcircuit level. I wish to speak to graduate students
or researchers in Neuroscience or Biology at any of the
following institutions: Caltech, UCI, UCLA, Alabama
(Birmingham), Iowa, or Northwestern. I have chosen these
universities because of their supposedly strong
Neuroscience programs and because at each of these there
is a scientist that has similar research interests to
mine. A bonus would be to speak to students that are
working in a laboratory that I may very well find myself
in.

Thanks
