Organization Overview
Neurobiological discoveries have been fueled in recent years by rapid development of optical imaging tools. Over the last decade the Laboratory of Neurotechnology and Biophysics has developed a wide portfolio of advanced optical neurotechnologies that have enabled large-scale optical interrogation of neuronal population activity at high spatiotemporal resolution across model systems. These capabilities have opened up new opportunities for understanding the fundamental principles of how brain-wide neurocomputation and animal behavior emerges from dynamic interaction of vast and highly distributed neuronal populations in the mammalian brain. Developing and applying new neurotechnologies towards these other neuroscience questions represents a major focus of the lab in the coming years. These efforts have the potential to transform our understanding of how cognitive functions emerge from the connectivity and of neuroactivity as well as provide new avenues for...
