Research projects
The project aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the circuits through which the brain can internally generate structured cortical neural activity during sleep (e.g. realistic simulations of episodic experiences during dreaming, and precise reactivations of neurons encoding recent experiences), how this activity is coordinated between brain regions, and the function it serves in learning, creativity and memory. To answer these questions we use in vivo brain imaging to probe and manipulate cortical circuits at cellular resolution in in mice during learning and sleep.
The candidate will have access to state-of-the-art in vivo 2-photon calcium imaging, holographic optogenetic and virtual reality approaches to measure and perturb neural circuits in awake behaving and sleeping mice at cellular and subcellular resolution.
