Probing the basis of neuronal branching
- 👤 Speaker: Dr Hermann Cuntz, Institute of Clinical Neuroanatomy, Goethe-University Frankfurt
- 📅 Date & Time: Monday 18 July 2011, 11:00 - 12:00
- 📍 Venue: MRC LMB: Neurobiology Division Seminar Room (Level 2)
Abstract
My general goal is to understand neuronal processing as a function of anatomy in the context of individual connectivity schemes. With a set of complementary approaches I aim to better understand the relationship between anatomy, network connectivity and computation in the brain, and their underlying mechanisms. Currently, my main line of research is grounded in a rule defined by Ramón y Cajal stating that neuronal branching strives to minimize quantities such as amount of cytoplasm, required space and conduction time. I have developed a modular growth algorithm implementing this rule which turns out to be capable of describing much of how the brain’s architecture comes about.
