Systemic Neurophysiology

Calcium imaging

We use 1-photon calcium imaging from freely moving mice to investigate the dynamics of neuronal activity over time. Our goal is to understand how the activation of groups of neurons in various brain regions is regulated over behaviourally relevant timescales.

In vivo electrophysiology

We use single-unit and local field potential recordings from freely moving and head-fixed mice to explore the dynamics of cortical activities. Specifically, we focus on how neuronal oscillations organize spiking activity during behaviour and how these processes are impaired in psychiatric illness.

Analysis of network dynamics

We use computational tools to extract network activity patterns such as assemblies of coactive neurons from large-scale electrophysiological and imaging data. The goal of this research is to understand how higher-order population activity patterns are organized by ongoing oscillatory activity and behaviour.
