Dear all,

I would like to bring to your attention the Brains Through Time Reading Club I am co-organizing with people from the Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante. 

As the name implies, the idea is to review the book Brains Through Time, by Georg Striedter and Glenn Northcutt. It is a masterful synthesis of much what is known about brain evolution, and I believe it offers great insights to anyone interested in a broad understanding of how the brain produces behavior.

We will dedicate a ~90 minute session to each of the 7 chapters. The first session will be on the 6th of October (6pm CEST / 12 EST) and will include the participation of Georg Striedter (one of the authors), Luis Puelles and Paul Cisek.

If you are interested, please visit our web site for more information and to register!
