Using in vivo Physiology to Understand Neural Circuits in Genetic Systems
Recent technical innovations have made identified neurons accessible to in vivo electrophysiology and imaging in Drosophila, zebrafish and C. elegans. In addition, ongoing miniaturization is allowing the mouse to be used in place of the rat in many studies. This meeting brought together scientists who use physiology and genetic tools in these organisms to understand neural circuit function. The focus of the meeting was on the design and interpretation of experiments rather than on technique development.
