About this course
Topics include:
- Free swimming and restrained behavioural recording
- Multiphoton neuronal population imaging
- 3D electron microscopy preparation and collection
- Time series analysis and machine learning-based image segmentation
Learning outcomes
Students will gain hands-on experience using zebrafish and/or frogs are used as model systems in neuroethology. Students will perform behavioral recordings, whole-brain multiphoton calcium imaging and electron microscopy-based connectomic experiments. Students will also be introduced to computational analysis methods to analyze the time series data they record as well as EM image segmentation using machine learning.
