We look forward to seeing you!
學(xué)期將末,年關(guān)將至,相信大家也是歸心似箭;莫急,JC將獻(xiàn)給大家一份新春禮物;為此,JC邀請了剛回來的PI――張翼鳳老師來講第五期”The story behind the paper",敬請有意的同學(xué)前來”領(lǐng)取”!
以下是張老師演講將要涉及的內(nèi)容,背后的story還望大家到現(xiàn)場多多挖掘:
Neurons form various interconnected circuits to perform different functions. The task of circuit neuroscience is to decipher these neural circuits - to document the cellular components of each individual circuit, to study how these components interact with each other to give rise to a specific function, and ultimately, to understand how a specific behavior arises through the interplay of various neural circuits. On Thursday, I'm going to describe my previous research, and how they relate to these goals of circuit neuroscience.
The main focus of my current research is to understand the mechanisms of neural processing in the mammalian visual system, starting from the retina. The retina is an attractive place to study neural circuits. I'm going to explain why that is the case, what kind of specific projects I have in mind, and what methods will be used to accomplish them.
