This course aims to give students a clear understanding of the neural circuits underlying sensory perception, motor control, learning and memory, and higher-level cognition, and how these circuits achieve these functions computationally. The course will draw on a range of model systems including humans, monkeys, rodents, fish and flies. By the end of the class, students should be able to engage with a broad array of research topics in systems neuroscience, interpret current papers in the field, and understand the techniques and approaches involved, including their shortcomings.
