Neural Circuits - The Connelly Group
We want to understand how neural circuits perform useful computations, and how those circuits go wrong in disease.
The brain is an unbelievable complex computer. However, unlike the computer on your desk, how it converts the inputs it receives, your senses, into useful outputs, behaviours, is largely unknown. By directly recording from individual brain cells, we seek to reveal how they work together to create perceptions and cause behaviours.
