Biology

In the last 65 years of biology, we have witnessed three changes in the dominant paradigm employed to make progress in the life sciences; the systems biology of organisms (300 BC to 1950 AD), molecular biology and genetics employing a reductionist...

Simons Center for Systems Biology - Seminar

November 12, 2025 | 10:30am - 12:30pm

Abstract: Ensembles of randomly wired networks, constrained by biology (cell types, Dale’s law, geometry), can rival far more detailed models in matching statistics of neural population dynamics, thus revealing the “typical” behavior of high...

Simons Center for Systems Biology - Seminar

October 27, 2025 | 10:30am - 12:30pm

Abstract: In many experimental situations, large populations of simultaneously recorded neurons (up to 1 million) have been found to exhibit ‘low-dimensional’ dynamics, in the sense that the population dynamics can be effectively described by a...
