Understanding Synaptic Dynamics in Neurobiology
28:27 - 31:42 (03:14)
The dynamics of the synapse change is going on all the time, but there's a dynamic system in which you can say that the synapses don't change much during a computation. It is important to consider both the synaptic and system dynamics to model neurobiology.

1:02:47 - 1:12:35 (09:47)
Summary
Understanding different parts of the brain, their functionality, and the behavior of different neurons, by using causal testing to turn up or down the activity of certain types of cells or defined populations of cells and observing the actions. The goal is to monitor single collections of neurons to gain insight on complex behaviors, and single neurons to draw deeper insights on the origins of different parts of the brain.
