Mesoscale dissection of neuronal populations underlying cognition
The brain is responsible for cognition, broadly defined as thinking, by combining mental processes such as sensory integration, perception, and working memory. One of neuroscience’s major challenges is understanding how the brain encodes cognition as a whole. The biggest obstacle to this goal is the complex nature of the brain, which contains billions of entangled neurons that form a dynamic, ever-changing network. We propose to use the mouse model to study cognitive processing streams across the brain. By applying a zoom-out/zoom-in approach, we first study cognition at the mesoscale level (i.e., the population level across many areas) and then zoom in and dissect a specific…
