「ラーニングラウンジ」では、毎回2名の若手研究者が自身の研究について、それぞれ20分間のトークを行います。

社会背景に関連づけた魅力的なトークにより、なぜ自分の研究が世界にとって重要なのか、専門外の方にもわかりやすく訴えかけます。

Shapes of Neurons Shape Our Behavior

How does your brain recognize a fly, decide to catch it, and then move your hand? Even a simple activity such as this requires neurons to make many, many precise connections in the brain. Different neuronal shapes can control the way connections are made, and studying the rules of how these shapes are formed can help us better understand how the brain works.
