Neural circuits

A fundamental goal of neuroscience research is to understand how the brain's neural circuits are structurally and functionally connected. Nature Reviews Neuroscience presents a series of articles that explore various approaches to the analysis of the structure and function of neural circuits and describe recent methodological advances that are driving research.
