Brain is flexible biological system
in which the neuronal network activity is dynamically regulated
by a large number of functional molecules in the synaptic
region.
In this study, I will investigate
the spatio-temporal dynamics of synaptic molecules in single
neurons by using optical trapping and assembling system.
The experimental and numerical
analyses will reveal the hierarchical structure between
molecular behaviors and neuronal network dynamics, and
finally establish the information processing model in the
brain.
