Abstract: Cell-to-cell variability in gene expression exists even in a homogeneous population of cells. Dissecting such cellular heterogeneity within a biological system is a prerequisite for understanding how a biological system is developed, homeostatically regulated, and responds to external perturbations. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows the quantitative and unbiased characterization of cellular heterogeneity by providing …

Abstract: Through the past decades, electrophysiological experiments have revealed that extracellular electrical potential of brain show diverse rhythmic activity. Called ‘Local Field Potential(LFP)’, those rhythmic activities are thought to reflect populational activity of neurons. In this talk, I will introduce basic concepts on LFP and its generation mechanisms. Then, roles of LFP in brain inter-areal …
