SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE : Neural Circuitry, Function and Behavior: Understanding the function of the nervous system and how it is altered by disease requires integrating knowledge across levels of organization and complexity, from the biophysical mechanisms of synaptic transmission, to local microcircuit connectivity, to the coordinated activity of hundreds or thousands of neurons across diverse brain regions. At each of these levels integrated anatomical, physiological and behavioral data are ultimately needed to advance understanding of how a neural system encodes information and drives behavior. Faculty in Biological Structure reflect this great challenge in systems neuroscience. |
