Lake Conference – Neural Coding and Dynamics 2023

Description

Join the Allen Institute and Circuit Neuroscience Basel for the Lake Conference in Seattle, Washington this September! This interactive and intimate conference will bring together leaders and top researchers in neural coding and dynamics for engaging presentations, discussions and networking. The conference will focus on neural coding and dynamics at the brain-wide level, their implementation in evolved neural circuits, and the impact of artificial intelligence in understanding the brain.

Platforms accelerate our work

Surgery

This team performs a variety of surgical procedures, including stereotaxic injections and implanting chronic cranial windows and Neuropixels probes.

Multi-Neuropixels Electrophysiology

This platform implements pioneering technology for highly reproducible, targeted, brain-wide, cell-type-specific electrophysiology to record neural activity from defined neuron types across the brain. Analysis and quality control of the electrophysiology data are fully automated.

Brain-Wide Anatomy at Synaptic Resolution

This platform combines innovative histology, ExA-SPIM microscopy, image handling, and machine learning to map the morphology and molecular identity of individual neurons across the whole brain at high throughput.

Fiber Photometry

This platform enables optical measurement of neural activity and neurotransmitter release in populations of neurons to study neural circuit dynamics in behaving animals.

Behavior

The Behavior platform uses advanced technology to implement a standardized, modular, multi-task virtual reality gymnasium for mice, with the goal to study brain function across different behaviors at scale.
