"Synaptic circuits in fluorescent mice; axonal arbor morphology and circuit analysis in branbow multispectral neurons"
Daniel Johnston, Ph.D. University of Texas
"Changes in dendritic excitability as a substrate for learning"
David L. Glanzman Ph.D. University of California in Los Angeles
"Development of the zebrafish into a model organism for the cellular and molecular analysis of non-associative memory"
William Frost, Ph.D. Chicago Medical School
"Optical recording studies of learning and memory in the marine mollusk tritonia diomedea"
Paul Forscher, Ph.D. Yale University
