[Theory] REMINDER: 6/17 TTIC Colloquium: Narayanan (Bobby) Kasthuri, University of Chicago/Argonne

[Mary Marre]

*When:*      Monday, June 17th at 11:00 am



*Where:*     TTIC, 6045 S. Kenwood Avenue, 5th Floor, Room 526



*Who: *       Narayanan (Bobby) Kasthuri, University of Chicago / Argonne
National Laboratory



*Title:     *   Industrial Scale Brain Mapping

*Abstract:*

The Kasthuri lab at the University of Chicago and Argonne National
Laboratory is pioneering new techniques for brain mapping of the fine
structure of the nervous system at industrial scale. I will describe these
developments including: large volume automated electron microscopy for
mapping neuronal connections at the nanoscale, synchrotron source X-ray
microscopy for mapping the cellular composition of entire brains, and
combining both with cell type specific labeling for multi-scale,
multi-modal brain maps.  We have applied these tools to brains from
octopuses and squids to primates and mice in the service of answering the
questions: how do brains grow up and age and how do brains differ across
individuals and across species, and how can we being to reverse brain
function *in silico*?
