STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Neural circuits and behaviour

Neuroethology refers to the study of animal behaviour and its underlying neuronal mechanisms. Aiming to unravel how the nervous system processes cognitive functions and controls animal behaviour, the laboratory uses the zebrafish larva as the experimental model and a multidisciplinary approach, including two-photon calcium imaging to monitor activity of neural networks, motor behaviours, genetic engineering techniques to label, monitor and manipulate activity of specific neurons or entire circuits and mathematical and computational methods for data analysis. It is the combination of disciplines, and the use of a behaving animal model that enables deciphering complex neuroethological questions such as perception of time, decision making, learning & memory and sensory perception.
