- Beschreibung
- Brains are highly interconnected networks of millions to billions of neurons. For a century, we have not been able to systematically map these connectivity networks. Only recently, using novel electron microscopy techniques and machine-learning based data analysis, the dense mapping of neuronal networks has become possible at a larger scale. This new field of connectomics is still limited by technology and requires next-generation human-machine interaction for data analysis, but it is already starting to provide exciting insights into how neuronal circuits operate in the brain. Our goal is to make connectomics a high-throughput screening technique for neuroscience, applicable to the large circuits in the mammalian cerebral cortex. We are using connectomic data from the cerebral cortex to analyze brain-implemented algorithms, extract possible imprints of sensory experience, investigate the postnatal development of neuronal circuits and study connectome alterations in models of psychiatric disease.
