Neural Circuit Reconstruction
September 23-26, 2007

The goal of this meeting was to discuss the challenges facing the reconstruction of complete circuit diagrams of neuronal processing units, such as vertebrate cortical columns and hippocampal circuits as well as entire invertebrate nervous systems. This meeting discussed, in multiple formats, these problems along with strategies to solve them rather than formal presentation of past research results.
