Neural circuitry refers to the interconnected networks of neurons that process and transmit information throughout the brain and nervous system. These circuits underlie perception, cognition, emotion, and motor control, forming the foundation for all brain functions. Understanding how neural circuits operate provides critical insights into both normal brain behavior and neurological disorders.

The Neural Circuitry session explores the structure, dynamics, and plasticity of neural networks that govern sensory processing, decision-making, and learning. Researchers investigate how electrical and chemical signaling integrates across local and global circuits to produce coherent behavior.

At the Neural Circuitry Conference, neuroscientists, neuroengineers, and computational modelers discuss advanced imaging and electrophysiological methods that reveal circuit-level activity. Topics include optogenetics, two-photon microscopy, connectomics, and neural population analysis. These tools enable scientists to map brain wiring with unprecedented precision and identify disruptions associated with epilepsy, autism, and schizophrenia.

This session is ideal for participants studying how neurons collaborate to generate perception and behavior. It emphasizes the use of interdisciplinary technologies bridging anatomy, physiology, and computation.

Breakthroughs in Neurophysiology Research continue to deepen understanding of how networks adapt through plasticity and reorganization—shedding light on the biological basis of thought and consciousness.
