DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mei Zhen <meizhen@lunenfeld.ca> \nThe ability of anima
 ls to generate goal-oriented motor behaviors ensures their survival. Combi
 ning connectomics\, genetics\, optogenetics\, and electrophysiology\, we h
 ave begun to reveal cellular mechanisms that drive the motor behaviors of 
 C. elegans\, an animal with a small and non-spiking nervous system. I will
  present published and unpublished progress that describes the underlying 
 of motor rhythm\, motor rhythm modulation\, and motor state organization. 
 These results imply fascinating functional compression and computation tha
 t enables a small nervous system to serve as a compact model to dissect th
 e organizational logic of circuits\, and how it might be compared across n
 eural systems with vastly different anatomy and membrane physiology.\n\n\n
 This Talk is part of the Bernoulli workshop Peering through Behavior into
