Topic: functional variability

Brains of different individuals perform common essential functions despite differences in character, skills, perception or learning abilities. These fundamental observations suggest that neuronal computations exhibit different degrees of invariance to natural variability in the structure and dynamics of neuronal circuits. To understand the relation between structural and functional variability in a complex sensory network we focus on the olfactory bulb (OB) of larval zebrafish. The OB is optically accessible and sufficiently small to enable dense ultrastructural reconstructions of neuronal cir
