The precise interpretation of such actions from a gravitational point of view has been somewhat unclear. In this
talk I will describe a holographic interpretation of such effective actions and discuss the connection to other
approaches to fluid/gravity duality.

Single neurons VS. population dynamics:Which track behavior? insights from the gustatory cortex
More information Time 12:30 - 12:30Lecturer Dr. Anan Moran
Neurobiology Dept, Faculty of Life Science and Sagol School for Neuroscience, Tel Aviv UniversityOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Neural responses in many cortical regions encode information...» Neural responses in many cortical regions encode information relevant to behavior—information that necessarily changes as that behavior changes with learning. While such responses are reasonably theorized to be related to behavior causation, the true nature of that relationship cannot be clarified by simple learning studies, which show primarily that responses change with experience. Neural activity that truly tracks behavior (as opposed to simply changing with experience) will not only change with learning but also change back when that learning is extinguished. By recording the activity of ensembles of gustatory cortical (GC) single neurons from rats that were put in a conditioning-extinction protocol I could test which element - single neurons or population dynamics followed the behavior pattern (and I'll leave the answer to the talk). Additional results will implicate the basolateral amygdala (BLA) as the driver of the changes observed in the cortex.

NYU Neuroscience InstituteOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Summary: Gyorgy Buzsaki aims at understanding how neuronal c...» Summary: Gyorgy Buzsaki aims at understanding how neuronal circuitries of the brain support its cognitive capacities, with a primary interest in brain oscillations, synchronization and memory. His major goal is to provide rational, mechanistic explanations of cognitive functions at a descriptive level.
Over the past 35 years, Buzsaki has led the way in analyzing the functional properties of cortical neurons acting within their natural networks. He pioneered the experimental exploration of how coordinated, rhythmic neuronal activity serves physiological functions in the cerebral cortex, and in particular, how information is exchanged between the hippocampus and neocortex. For this aim, Buzsaki's lab has established some of the most difficult approaches necessary to solve these problems. His work includes innovative techniques to monitor neural activity and brain oscillation in behaving rodents from the cellular level to whole network activation.
In addition to his numerous publications and reviews, Gyorgy Buzsaki is the author of the book "Rhythms of the Brain", which discusses mechanisms and functions of neuronal synchronization. He explains the field of brain oscillations, and how oscillatory timing is the brain’s fundamental organizer of neuronal information. Among many other distinguished awards, he is the recipient of the 2011 European brain prize.
