Cell Symposia: The Networked Brain

Symposium - San Diego, CA, USA

The brain is more than the sum of its parts and this meeting will explore the concept of the networked brain. Over the last number of years, new techniques in brain imaging, new molecular and genomic techniques, and new sophisticated approaches for reconstructing and manipulating circuits have profoundly changed our picture of how the brain works.

This meeting will bring together top researchers working at these different levels to discuss their recent work on neural networks, from form to function.

Topics that will be covered will include:

Circuit development and function

Connectomics

Genomic and molecular signaling networks

Brain activity oscillations

Computational properties of neural networks

Networks in the human brain

How disruptions in network function contribute to disorders of the brain and nervous system
