NIH-funded research project investigating the circuit mechanisms and role of neuron diversity in short-term memory through experimental and theoretical approaches in a larval zebrafish gaze control system.
Description
A research project funded by NIH focusing on neural circuit mechanisms underlying short-term memory and persistent neural activity. The project combines synapse resolution anatomy and circuit-wide, cellular resolution recordings and perturbations of neural activity into a biologically realistic model to infer the physiological interactions underlying short-term memory function.
