Symposium 4 - Expanding Species Diversity in Neuroscience Research

The goal is to inform the community of the BRAIN Initiative's support for the diversity of species used in neuroscience research. By leveraging advances in genetics and neuroscience tools, new species are being explored and developed for their utility in addressing outstanding neurobiological questions. This symposium will showcase circuits-related research that feature non-traditional species. Then, discussion will follow on the challenges and opportunities in expanding the diversity in species used for neuroscience studies.
