- Description
- Our brain is composed of billions of neurons linked through trillions of synaptic connections. Decoding the brain functions represents a problem of immense complexity that has not yet been solved by computational studies. Currently, the best chance to understand it relies on combinatorial approaches allowing simultaneous manipulation of neuronal circuits, brain imaging and behavior analyses. During this seminar, I will present the most promising tools currently available in preclinical research. I will detail the advantages of genetically engineered animals and viral vectors for expression of actuators and/or sensors in specific cellular population as well as novel devices for recording and/or imaging brain activity at high spatiotemporal resolution in freely moving conditions.
