CNS readers' digest
This section hosts a selection of papers which attracted the attention of our researchers, although they have not yet been presented in any Journal Club session. Some of them have been suggested by members of the institute for their outstanding interest and may be the object of future discussions in the Journal Club. Some others are papers of clear interest which fall beyond the scope of the Journal Club, e.g. methodological and theoretical papers, reviews, and research articles far away from our field of expertize.
