Title Connecting multi-scale networks in the brain
Abstract Brain is certainly one of the most well-organized network systems. Recently, neuroscientists are acquiring new advanced abilities to observe widely at various scale organizations of the brain from ten centimeter scale to micrometer scale. However, it may be also true that, after neuroscientists could accumulate huge data, we immediately face difficulty of how we could extract rules existing behind of the complex data.
  The main theme of this presentation is how to computationally understand the multiple scale architectures of the brain as networks, and this presentation include mainly three topics: The first topic is how global networks covering a whole brain constrain millisecond-order fast electrical flow, and how it relates with properties at individual brain regions (Shimono, 2013; Shimono, Hatano, 2018). The second topic is how local neuronal circuits within a brain region is designed to sustain efficient information flow (Shimono, Beggs, 2014; Nigam et al., 2016). The final topic is an introduction of our new attempts to integrate these two different scales. Refer http://shimono-u.net/ to know more details.
