Microcircuits, functional modules that act as elementary processing units bridging
single cells to systems and behavior, could provide the link between neurons and global
brain function. Microcircuits are designed to serve particular functions; examples of
these functional modules include the cortical columns in sensory cortici, glomeruli
in the olfactory systems of insects and vertebrates, and networks generating different
aspects of motor behavior. In this Dahlem Workshop volume, leading neuroscientists
discuss how microcircuits work to bridge the single cell and systems levels and compare
the intrinsic function of microcircuits with their ion channel subtypes, connectivity,
and receptors, in order to understand the design principles and function of the
microcircuits.
