Workshop at Western Washington University

Description

Join us for a workshop to learn about the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics and some of the research we are doing. We will introduce the work of our institute, have hands-on demos of how to access and work with two data types (single cell morphologies and the Credit Assignment During Learning project),and hear from three recent WWU alums about their roles and contributions to our team science! This workshop is intended for Neurobiology or Computer Science students. We will lead a hands-on demo using python to explore data, but no previous coding experience is required.

Platforms accelerate our work

Surgery

The Surgery team offers a variety of aseptic rodent surgical procedures ranging from stereotaxic injections to headpost implantation and cranial windowing.

Neuropixels Electrophysiology

The Neuropixels platform uses pioneering technology for highly reproducible, targeted, brain-wide, cell-type-specific electrophysiology to record neural activity from defined neuron types across the brain.

Brain-Wide Anatomy at Cellular Resolution

The Molecular Anatomy platform combines innovative histology, imaging, and analysis techniques to map the morphology and molecular identity of neuron types across the whole brain.

Fiber Photometry

The Fiber Photometry platform enables optical measurement of neural activity in live animals to study neural circuits' function and 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.
