Floor 11, Workshop 1116
Using a range of custom-developed imaging and microscopy methods, we can acquire large-scale recordings of neuronal activity across the brains of awake, behaving animals across species from worms and flies, to mice. Analyzing ‘real-time’ neuronal activity patterns in the context of spontaneous behaviors, we have identified new ways to map and classify the roles of brain regions involved in movement generation, and to interpret brain-wide, ‘resting-state’ neuronal activity patterns in the context of real-time behaviors.
WTI Inspiring Speaker Series
The Wu Tsai Institute presents the 2024-25 Inspiring Speaker Series.
The Institute’s new signature series features an interdisciplinary lineup of speakers studying the mind and brain from different angles, including perspectives from beyond academia. These speakers were selected for their ability to bridge and communicate across disciplines with state-of-the-art research and ideas relevant to the entire Wu Tsai Community.
Talks occur on Thursdays at 4:00 pm approximately every two weeks, beginning September 2024. They take place in the Workshop on the 11th floor of the Wu Tsai Institute at 100 College Street. There will be an opportunity for questions and a reception following each talk.
All members of the Yale community are welcome. Please contact wti@yale.edu if you have any accessibility-related needs. View upcoming talks and subscribe to our monthly newsletter for updates.
