SUMMARY:Mark J. Schnitzer - Optical imaging of neuronal dynamics in healthy and diseased brains
DESCRIPTION:
 Optical techniques have become central to research 
 at the forefront of brain science and are 
 still rapidly increasing in their breadth and 
 importance to the field. For instance, the 
 United States Brain Research through Advancing 
 Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative 
 has as one of its priorities the aim of 
 fostering continued innovation in this domain. 
 I will present recent advances in optical 
 brain imaging, which have allowed the visualization 
 of large-scale neural codes in behaving 
 animals as well as optical readouts of neuronal 
 voltage oscillations. I will then illustrate 
 different ways in which neural information 
 processing can become aberrant in states of 
 brain disease, as revealed using optical imaging 
 technologies. Further innovation in these 
 areas in upcoming years is likely to yield 
 better understanding of both healthy and diseased 
 brains.\n
