CSB PhD Candidate: Adam Atanas Advisor: Prof. Steven Flavell Title: “Brain-wide representations of behavior spanning multiple timescales and states in C. elegans” Abstract: “Changes in an animal’s behavior and internal state are accompanied by widespread changes in activity across its brain. However, how neurons across the brain encode behavior and how this is impacted by state is poorly understood.…
