Systems Neuroscience

Section edited by Tianzi Jiang and Jiu-Lin Du

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the understanding of structure and function of neural circuits, systems and networks at all levels (microscale, mesoscale, macroscale), all sensory systems and sensory processing, how neural circuits and brain networks support behavior and cognitive function and computational and theoretical neuromodeling.

  2. Pyridoxine (PDX; vitamin B6), is an essential vitamin. PDX deficiency induces various symptoms, and when PDX is misused it acts as a neurotoxicant, inducing severe sensory neuropathy.
