Light-Based Approaches to Neural Circuit Reconstruction
Identifying the functional organization of neural networks is key to understanding how the brain processes and stores information. This workshop, a follow-up to the first one held in fall 2010, continued to explore advances in the genetic, molecular, optical and computational tools that facilitate neural circuit reconstruction by light microcopy. Topics discussed include: genetic methods, cytochemistry, light-based acquisition strategies and informatics.
