Abstract: We are interested in the correlations between morphology of brain connections and functionality, which is one of the major issues in neuroscience in the comprehensions of many pathologies and mechanisms of behavior and computation. Elucidating the neural pathways that underlie brain function is also one of the greatest challenges in neuroscience.
Nowadays, there are several imaging techniques offering a complementary approach to visualize intact neural networks. Each of those offers a different strategy and furnish complementary information on the role of neural components.
We will describe different approaches enabling to move from single neuron details to whole brain imaging both on functional and morphological point of view.
Some examples of correlative microscopies, combining linear and non linear techniques will be described. Particular attention will be devoted to neural plasticity after damage as neurobiological application.
