Research topics
-
physiological, anatomical
and molecular basis of
cognitive processing
-
computational aspects of
single neurons
-
visual and multimodal
processing
-
of cellular circuitry and
connectivity
-
evolutionary influences on
neuronal circuitry
|
Scientific Approach
-
Analyzing the anatomy and
connectivity of single
neurons in the brain,
recording cellular responses
to stimulation of defined
input structures. With these
data, models of the cells
were built to gather an
understanding of the
computational capacities of
given neuron types.
-
Isolating cells from early
embryos to study their
development in vitro,
attempting biohybrid
approaches to analyze the
interplay between activity
and circuit formation.
