One pressing question in modern neuroscience is how neuron diversity impacts brain function. Answering this question is difficult because techniques that allow researchers to study the functioning brain are typically disconnected from techniques for studying individual neurons at a fine scale. The applicant proposes a new technique that will allow her to bridge the gap between these two parallel lines of research. She will develop an innovative technique that allows her to permanently label (or 'tag') neurons in freely behaving animals that have specific activity patterns, in order to ...
