The Connectome in Use: From anatomical wiring to functional organization in the behaving C. elegans brain
Neuroscience, Computational Neuroscience and Neuroanatomy seminar by Rani Borbara, Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, MIT
Hosted by MIT Simons Center for the Social Brain
Friday 12:00–13:00 New York (GMT-4)
Ended
Cambridge, United States
Abstract
Rani Borbara presents brain-wide recordings from more than 150 freely moving C. elegans to examine how anatomical connectivity becomes functional organization during behavior. Cross-animal models map cell-class conditional dependencies and test how synapses, gap junctions, neuromodulation and shared brain states shape circuit dynamics.
