Network Functions and Plasticity Summary

Network Functions and Plasticity: Perspectives from Studying Neuronal Electrical Coupling in Microcircuits by Jian Jing (School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, Jiangsu, China and Department of Neuroscience, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA)

Network Functions and Plasticity: Perspectives from Studying Neuronal Electrical Coupling in Microcircuits focuses on the specific roles of electrical coupling in tractable, well-defined circuits, highlighting current research that offers novel insights for electrical coupling's roles in sensory and motor functions, neural computations, decision-making, regulation of network activity, circuit development, and learning and memory. Bringing together a diverse group of international experts and their contributions using a variety of approaches to study different invertebrate and vertebrate model systems with a focus on the role of electrical coupling/gap junctions in microcircuits, this book presents a timely contribution for students and researchers alike.

About Jian Jing (School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, Jiangsu, China and Department of Neuroscience, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, USA)

Jian Jing obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1998. He has been performing circuitry studies with molluscan model systems for over two decades at University of Illinois, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine at New York, and now at Nanjing University in China. Dr. Jing has published extensively in high-profile journals such as J. Neurosci., Current Biology, J. Biol. Chem. He successfully organized a 2013 Society for Neuroscience mini-symposium (with 6 speakers) on the subject, which is the basis for the proposed book.
