Abstract

Neurons are the brain’s fundamental computing units — yet we still don’t fully understand how vast networks of neurons work together to generate thought, memory, and behaviour. A central challenge in neuroscience is not only decoding how these networks compute, but also developing technologies capable of imaging millions of neurons in real time within living systems.
