RIKEN BSI Summer Program 2010 “Network Interactions”
Cognition and emotion, in other words the mind, are generated by the integration of external sensory information and internal information. This integration occurs in networks formed at the molecular, cellular, and neuronal circuit levels. Lectures in the 2010 BSI Summer Course will focus on multidisciplinary approaches to understanding the connections between these various levels of complexity. Many of the lectures will highlight the emerging use of elaborate genetics to create model systems with circuit level mutations, while others will feature recent advances in our understanding of how network interactions underlie both function and dysfunction in the nervous system.
