 ure Abstract: A fundamental problem in neuroscience is understanding how t
 he properties of individual neurons and synapses contribute to neuronal ci
 rcuit dynamics and behavior. Computational and experimental studies demons
 trate that the same physiological output can arise from multiple\, degener
 ate solutions\, and individual animals with similar behavior can have diff
 erent sets of underlying circuit parameters. We study the resilience of in
 dividual animals to perturbations such as temperature and high potassium c
 oncentrations. Our present work is designed to understand differential res
 ilience in natural\, wild - caught animals in response to environmental ch
 allenges\, and shows long - lasting influences of the animals’ temperature
  history.\n\nEve Marder\n\n\n\nEve Marder\, Victor and Gwendolyn Beinfield

 , Eve Marder’s Work in Neuroscience. Marder was instrumental in demonstrat
 ing that neuronal circuits are not “hard-wired” but can be reconfigured by
  neuromodulatory neurons and substances\, and in developing the dynamic cl
 amp and models of intrinsic homeostasis. Marder now studies how similar ne
 twork performance can arise from different sets of underlying network para
 meters\, with its relevance for differential resilience in the population 
 to challenges such as environmental temperature.\n\n \n
