Using electrophysiology techniques, we'll record neural activity from living organisms, including your own brain.
We'll explore the ways in which the organization of neural circuits underlies their function & ultimately behavior.
Neuroscience is getting bigger & more open. We'll take a look at a few open access datasets from mice & humans.
