CBBS-RG Neural Circuits & Network Dynamics

The neurons in our brain never function in isolation; they are organized into complex circuits which perform highly specialized information processing tasks and transfer information through large neuronal networks. The aim of my research group is to better understand how neural circuits function during the transformation of information from sensory perception to behavioural output. Importantly, we also aim to further understand the cell-type specific processes that interrupt the flow of information through neural circuits in neurodegenerative disorders with dementia.
