Dr. Beatriz Rico and Dr. Oscar Marin

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Speaker: Dr. Beatriz Rico, King's College London Title: Assembly of cortical neurons in a dynamic circuit In our daily life, animal behaviours rely on precise connectivity between neurons in the brain that can be modulated by experience. In the mammalian cerebral cortex, these connections reach an extraordinary complexity. How are these cortical circuitries built? How […]
