"Imaging neurons to understand the brain"
Sponsor(s): Neurobiology
Karel Svoboda's lab is dissecting the functional connectivity of neocortex underlying perception and decision, as well as searching for the neural substrates of experience-dependent learning in the developing and adult neocortex. His work employs optogenetics, two-photon calcium imaging, and electrophysiology to examine the dynamics and functions of neural circuits in awake-behaving mice.
