Lab description

Our ability to perceive and interact with the world around us relies on finely tuned interactions of neural populations across the brain. To understand the functional mechanisms of these interactions, we need to record and manipulate neural activity across multiple scales: from subcellular structures to individual neurons and circuits to networks, which give rise to an organism’s behaviour. Our group is using advanced optical tools such as multicolour in vivo two-photon calcium and closed-loop optogenetics alongside high-resolution tracking of behaving mice and computational analysis to bridge this gap and understand how neural circuits give rise to perception, memory and action.
