Neural Systems & Circuits aims to publish exciting research on how individual neurons interact at the network level to perform interesting computations. We welcome purely theoretical work, studies combining theory and experiment, reports of technical or analytical innovations (especially if they serve to catalyze an understanding of the function of neural circuits), and large-scale genetic or connectomic studies. All model organisms are welcome.

Professor Latham received his PhD in Physics from UC Berkeley in 1986. After post-doctoral training he moved to the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, where he was promoted to Associate Research Scientist. He also worked at the National Institute of Mental Health, where his research interests shifted towards Neuroscience, and UCLA before joining the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London, where in 2009 he was promoted to Professor.
