Slow variables in nervous systems

Neural activity unfolds over milliseconds, yet the state of neural circuits is continuously shaped by biological processes operating over much longer timescales. 

Neuromodulation, metabolism, sleep and circadian rythms, endocrine signals, glial activity, brain-body interactions and development can alter the conditions under which neural circuits operate.

Slow Variables in Nervous Systems brings together researchers studying these processes from complementary perspectives, with the aim of identifying common principles linking physiology, neural dynamics and behaviour.
