Zusammenfassung

While the physiology of the individual neurons is important for circuit function, it is probably the wiring diagram in an animal nervous system that essentially programms its operation. The wiring diagram of neuronal circuits, called connectome, is believed to determine their functioning as information-processing devices. If connectomes are in fact decisive, then thorough testing of the relationship between circuit structure and function will be key to understanding neuronal circuit design. For genes and proteins "engineering" approaches enable biological researchers to modify their b...
