Research projects of the group
Our lab offers projects within two interrelated research themes:
1) Neural algorithms for successful behavior – investigating how fundamental features of neural circuit dynamics and connectivity produce successful and appropriate actions.
2) Nutritional neuroscience – investigating effects of different diets on brain function, in particular cognition.
