Modern neuroscience is an intensely multidisciplinary scientific endeavor, but its many subfields often remain somewhat insular. Cellular neuroscience, for example, zooms in on the molecular mechanisms of individual neurons, whereas systems neuroscience takes a much broader view, focusing on neuronal circuits. Both seek to answer key questions that are essential for our understanding of the brain, but they approach these questions in different ways.

Former news reporting internThe Transmitter Share this article: Tags: Craft and careers, Academia, Art in science, Arts, Computational neuroscience, Modeling, Science and society Kanaka Rajan says it took her twice as long as it should have to complete her Ph.D. in computational neuroscience—because she had to decipher “inscrutable physics papers. It turns out, they weren’t that hard.

Assistant professor of neuroscienceUniversity of Montreal Share this article: Tags: Neural dynamics, Computational neuroscience, dimensionality reduction, manifolds, Systems neuroscience The diversity of behaviors across the animal kingdom is staggering, from feats of agility to nuanced social interactions. Ultimately, these complex behaviors arise from the chatter of neurons, and cracking their “code” has driven systems neuroscience for decades.

Matthew G. Perich is assistant professor of neuroscience at the University of Montreal and an associate member of Mila, the Quebec Artificial Intelligence (AI) Institute. His lab’s research spans neurophysiology experiments, computational neuroscience and AI to uncover neural principles driving behavior across the animal kingdom. Perich earned his Ph.D. from Northwestern University, studying cortical control of movement in monkeys in Lee Miller’s lab.

Tim RyanI became sensitized during the Ph.D., but it’s true. The real shift was then I had to go outside of my comfort zone completely. I joined a lab not really knowing what I was going to do. I happened to join a lab that also wasn’t giving tons of direction, for better or worse, but mostly discussing ideas. I came up with some things that were interesting. Truthfully, they weren’t related to synapse.

In the early 20th century, neuroscience, like many other sciences, was mostly a solitary profession. Numerous seminal papers had single authors—or two at most. Clearly, things have changed. As a young principal investigator, I have come to appreciate that scientific skills practiced alone are no longer sufficient for my students to succeed.

Nancy Padilla-Coreano is assistant professor of neuroscience at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Her research explores how the brain enables humans and animals to navigate complex social dynamics and how this ability is disrupted in disease states. Padilla-Coreano uses behavioral assays, multisite electrophysiology and artificial intelligence to identify the neural dynamics behind social competency in mouse models.
