Episode notes
Defining Brain Function Is Key
- Defining brain function is essential to treating brain disorders effectively.
- Without a clear definition of function, diagnosis and restoration remain elusive.
Measuring Means Controlling Function
- Measuring brain function means being able to manipulate it to restore normalcy.
- Combining optogenetics with fMRI reveals brain-wide circuits and single-cell activity models.
Bridging Animal Models and Humans
- Applying animal model findings to human EEG enables interpretation of brain function from crude data.
- This approach reveals precise brain function patterns even with simpler tools.
