In addition to describing behavior in terms of neuronal properties and interconnections, some studies are using these well defined neuronal circuits to see how the circuits interact, how they develop, and how they are modified by experience, hormones and neuromodulators. The ready availability of computers and computational techniques has helped in some efforts, as have improvements in physiological and morphological techniques. The major insights, however, still come from experiments that ask clear and direct questions. This review highlights some of the promising approaches and suggests some general features of how neuronal circuits produce behavior.
除了根据神经元特性和相互连接来描述行为外，一些研究正在利用这些定义明确的神经元回路来观察回路如何相互作用、如何发育以及如何被经验、激素和神经调质所改变。计算机和计算技术的现成可用性在一些研究中起到了帮助作用，生理和形态学技术的改进也同样如此。然而，主要的见解仍然来自那些提出清晰直接问题的实验。这篇综述重点介绍了一些有前景的方法，并提出了神经元回路产生行为的一些一般特征。
