Natural behavior is the result of complex interactions between neurons, between neurons and the body, and between the body and the environment. Understanding the neural circuits underpinning animal behavior, therefore, involves unravelling this web of interactions and has captured the imagination and efforts of biologists, physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and artificial intelligence researchers alike. This award provides funding for researchers in these various disciplines to come together and find common direction, exchange ideas and insights, and create new collaborations.The organizers will produce and lead a workshop on the Functional Logic of Neural Circuits. The workshop will take place in Puerto Rico in February 2023. The goal of the workshop is to create a highly interactive environment that fosters maximum information exchange amongst a diverse set of researchers from experimental, computational, and theoretical neuroscience, structural and functional connectomics, genomics, and artificial intelligence. To accomplish this goal, the workshop includes several planned activities including chalk talks, panel discussions, and random group breakouts. The workshop will result in a comprehensive summary that will be widely disseminated for the purpose of fostering new community efforts around this challenging scientific problem.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

自然行为是神经元，神经元与身体之间以及身体与环境之间复杂相互作用的结果。 因此，了解基于动物行为的神经回路涉及揭开这种互动的网络，并捕捉了生物学家，物理学家，数学家，工程师和人工智能研究人员的想象力和努力。该奖项为研究人员在这些学科中的研究人员提供资金，以聚集在一起，找到共同的指导，交流思想和见解，并创建新的合作。组织者将制作并领导有关神经回路功能逻辑的研讨会。该研讨会将于2023年2月在波多黎各举行。研讨会的目的是创建一个高度互动的环境，从而在实验，计算和理论神经科学，结构和功能连接，基因组学和人工智能中促进一系列不同的研究人员之间的最大信息交换。 为了实现这一目标，研讨会包括一些计划的活动，包括粉笔谈话，小组讨论和随机小组突破。该研讨会将导致一个全面的摘要，该概述将被广泛传播，目的是围绕这个具有挑战性的科学问题促进新的社区努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为值得通过基金会的知识分子的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来提供支持。
