We know a great deal about how neurons communicate at the level of the individual cell and synapse
This minisymposium will survey the latest advances in high-throughput microscopy methods with the goal of advancing our understanding of brain networks.
Imaging and analysis of neuronal microcircuits on the scale of whole small animal brains will be presented.
Pertinent computational issues will be discussed.
