Research project funded by the National Eye Institute to study neural circuit mechanisms underlying persistent activity and short-term memory using zebrafish as a model.
Description
This project investigates the circuit mechanisms and role of cell type diversity in persistent firing, short-term memory, and motor control using zebrafish gaze control system. Combining anatomy, circuit-wide recordings, and perturbations, the study aims to model neuron interactions, refine models with optical imaging, and characterize cell-class interactions.
