A core function of neural circuits is to process incoming information and give rise to behavior.
In this symposium, our internationally renowned invited speakers will elucidate the function of neural circuits across sensory modalities and how raw inputs are transformed into cognitive percepts.
Featured topics will include the development of neural networks, their structure and coding principles during active behaviors, and new developments in Neurotechnology at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
