DESCRIPTION:A fundamental problem in neuroscience is understanding how the
  properties of individual neurons and synapses contribute to neuronal circ
 uit dynamics and behavior.  In recent years we have done both computationa
 l and experimental studies that demonstrate that the same physiological ou
 tput can arise from multiple\, degenerate solutions\, and that individual 
 animals with similar behavior can nonetheless have quite different sets of
  underlying circuit parameters.  Most recently\, we have been studying the
  resilience of individual animals to perturbations such as temperature and
  high potassium concentrations.  This has revealed that extreme environmen
 tal experiences can produce long-term changes in circuit performance that 
 can be hidden\, or “cryptic” unless the animals are again challenged o
 r perturbed.  Our present work is designed to understand differential resi
 lience in natural\, wild-caught animals in response to climate change\, an
 d shows long-lasting influences of the animals’ temperature history.
