As animals interact with the world, different neurons spring into action—but seeing a neuron “light up” only tells us what it’s doing, not who it is.In this talk, we’ll follow neurons from action to identity, combining real-time imaging of brain activity with cutting-edge molecular maps of the brain. Along the way, we’ll explore a new approach called MIDAS, which matches neurons observed during behavior with their molecular identities afterward.Our speaker, Dr. Didar Ciftci, is a biophysicist fascinated by how the invisible world of molecules gives rise to the things we can see and do. With a PhD in Biophysics from Cornell University and postdoctoral work at Harvard co-developing light-based molecular barcoding to visualize RNA, she now create new imaging approaches that link behavior with the activity, spatial organization, and molecular makeup of neurons.Come uncover how what a neuron is shapes what it does—and what that reveals about the cellular players behind complex behavior.
