gregoryjquirk Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Welcome to the Introductory Discussion for the Latin American Training Program (LATP). I am Greg Quirk, chair of the Latin American Training Program Advisory Group and a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine. My lab focuses on the extinction of conditioned fear responses using both rat and human models. LATP Associates play an important role in the training program, and are a high priority for both the SfN and the Grass Foundation. We will take the next hour to answer questions you may have about the program. You can begin by introducing yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
