Topic: functional interactions

Theoretical and computational models of neural systems have been traditionally focused on small neural circuits, given the lack of reliable data on large-scale brain structures. The situation has started to change in recent years, with novel recording technologies and large organized efforts to describe the brain at a larger scale. In this talk, Professor Mejias from the University of Amsterdam will review his recent work on developing anatomically constrained computational models of large-scale cortical networks of monkeys, and how this approach can help to answer important questions in large
