Our research lies at the interface between physics and neurobiology and we combine experimental biological studies with theoretical computational work in our lab. We are primarily interested in the dynamical aspects of information processing in the brain from the perspective of large and complex neuronal networks and study this through a diverse variety of projects including: Computational Memory storage, retrieval, and consolidation in the hippocampus and neocortex Decision making in the striatal basal ganglia formation Neurogenesis Phase response of single neurons and neuronal networks Epilepsy Experimental Multi-electrode array recording of neuronal cultures Novel optical imaging of neuronal activity Morphology of hippocampal cell cultures
