Identification of hippocampal subregions in vivo is thus essential for precise localization of function and pathology. <br /><br /></p> Wed, 11 Nov 2015 16:15:50 +0000 webfull 113904 at /channels /channels/news/drs-david-rudko-and-christine-tardif-join-bic-new-faculty-members-mr-specialists-267955 <p>We are truly happy and fortunate to welcome Drs.
