DESCRIPTION:In the mammalian brain\, learning and behavior are carried out
  by cortical circuits composed of diverse neuronal cell types. The distinc
 t gene expression patterns of cell types define their role in the circuit.
  Determining how cell types are organized into cortical circuit motifs pro
 vides an understanding for how neural computations are implemented to give
  rise to learning and behavior. By extension\, genetic variation across an
  animal population can potentially alter cell type properties. These funct
 ional differences may result in individual variability in learning and beh
 avior.  My research program seeks to identify common principles of cortica
 l circuit function and how they vary across individuals. I will present re
 cently developed vertically-integrated methods that enable simultaneous be
 havioral\, functional\, anatomical\, and molecular measurements to be perf
 ormed on individual mice. I will describe the application of these methods
  to dissect parahippocampal circuits involved in perception and abstract s
 ensory learning. In addition\, I will present new efforts to survey the ge
 netic correlates of individual learning by performing large-scale\, automa
 ted task training on recombinant outbred mice. These complementary efforts
  will reveal how the nervous system serves as a link between our genome an
 d our phenome.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Jerry Chen (Boston University)
