In this Machine Learning virtual conference session, Sanjoy Dasgupta gives an introduction to machine learning. He goes through a detailed prediction problem and surveys the landscape of the field.

In this video, Talmo Pereira describes the use of pose estimation instead of classical tracking to quantify animal behavior from videos.

In this video, Francesca Peri describes the experimental models currently available to study microglia, with special attention to different animal models, ant to the recent advances in “in vitro” models, such as induced-pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived microglia.

In this talk, Eric Fortune explores how weakly electric fish can be used as a model system to study the neural basis of behavior.

In this video, Diego Gomez-Nicola talks about the crucial role of microglia in neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting the implication of microglial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease.

In this video, Ulises Ricoy and Andres Romero discuss how the earthworm can be used as a low-cost animal model to study escape behaviors at an undergraduate serving institution.

In this talk, Christophe Dupré discusses how the transparent Hydra vulgaris can be used to study neuronal control of behavior.

In this video, Helmut Kettenmann talks about the state of neuroscience research at the beginning of the 20th century, and describes the discovery of microglia by Pio del Rio-Hortega.
