Скачать или смотреть NEURO SQUARE “Unraveling the brain’s mechanism of information integration using tiny worms”

NEURO SQUARE is a series of talks given by passionate researchers who are eager to share with you the findings and knowledge that they have gained through their studies.
In this talk, Takeishi discusses her research on complex brain mechanisms using small and simple worms.
We are naturally drawn to things we like and try to avoid things we dislike. However, we may or may not get that "Oh, that's nice" feeling about the same thing depending on our current state and the surrounding environment. In fact, even a tiny roundworm with only 302 nerve cells, called C. elegans, processes multiple pieces of information just like us, adjusting its judgments, such as whether to approach the scent of its favorite food, based on the situation. In my talk, I will share what has been discovered about how the brain consolidates various information to determine appropriate actions, drawing insights from the study of these tiny worms.
