Beta testing site for neurobiology videos

Notes: the video files are in Windows Media Format and should be playable on the Windows Media Player that comes on most PCs. You can download the most recent version of this program from this site. On PCs, left click on the video to view it or right click and select Save Link Target As to download to your hard disk.

The videos should also be viewable on Mac computers that are equipped with the Windows media player. If you have trouble, go to the site above to download the most recent version of Windows media player for Macs. Then download the file to your computer, start up Windows media player and open up the file from within the player. This ensures that you open up Windows media player rather than some other player to view the video. If this doesn't work, try downloading the program 'flip4mac', a free addition to Quicktime that lets Quicktime run Windows Media files. This can be downloaded at the following site:
