135th iCeMS Seminar/CeMI Seminar Series 37: Prof. Rafael Yuste
In the last two decades, the introduction of novel techniques such as calcium imaging and two-photon microscopy have enabled investigators to image for the first time structure and activity of living cortical circuits. Prof. Rafael Yuste will discuss how these techniques have provided novel insights into how the cortical circuits are organized and function, and will argue that the "impenetrable jungles" as described by Cajal could paradoxically end up being quite simple.
