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.

自然行为是神经元之间、神经元与身体之间、身体与环境之间复杂相互作用的结果。 因此，了解支撑动物行为的神经回路需要解开这种相互作用的网络，并吸引了生物学家、物理学家、数学家、工程师和人工智能研究人员等的想象力和努力。该奖项为这些不同学科的研究人员提供资金，让他们聚集在一起，寻找共同的方向，交流想法和见解，并建立新的合作。组织者将组织并领导一个关于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。研讨会的目标是创建一个高度互动的环境，促进来自实验、计算和理论神经科学、结构和功能连接组学、基因组学的不同研究人员之间最大程度的信息交流和人工智能。 为了实现这一目标，研讨会包括多项计划活动，包括粉笔演讲、小组讨论和随机小组分组讨论。研讨会将得出一份全面的总结，该总结将被广泛传播，以围绕这一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 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
