报告摘要：A neural circuit can process information efficiently and reliably. However, we know little about the neuronal principles underlying the efficient computations in the brain. It also remains unclear how a neuron or a circuit maintains its function when constantly facing diverse types of “perturbations” such as ion channel turnover, stochastic noise, and neuromodulation. These perturbations vary neuronal properties and, in principle, compromise the circuit function. We need to compile our growing knowledge of ion channel dynamics, neuronal properties, and circuit structure into computational principles in neural circuits. In the first part of my talk, I will introduce my work that used experimental data-driven computational models to explore biological mechanisms of cerebellar coding and learning. The second part of my talk will discuss the biological principles underlying neuronal and network resilience in the face of “noise” perturbations. Finally, I will briefly introduce the ongoing work in my lab.
