Understanding ultra-fast and flexible computation of the brain will not only help to understand brain functions but also contribute to the development of next-generation energy-efficient computing technologies by "mimicking" the super-efficient biological brain. In this symposium, we will introduce innovative research like reconstruction of artificial neuronal networks, neuromorphic silicon circuits for brain-like information processing, analysis of learning rules for recurrent neural networks, robotic implementation of sensory-motor conversion of biological brains, and combining axon recording and modelling to understand energy-efficient neuronal code. We would like to overview the current state of cross-layer neural circuit research and predict research developments for the next generation.
