Can New Tools Revolutionize Understanding of Hypothalamic Neural Circuits?
Hypothalamic neural circuits are important in physiology and for fundamental behavioral motivations associated with survival, defense, and reproduction. This meeting is planned to help understand the structure and function of these complex neural circuits. A further aim of the meeting is to bring together hypothalamic experts with innovative tool developers to consider the impact of new tools for manipulating and imaging neuron activity.
