Wireless solutions in brain research have so far been limited
by low data transmission, short recording time or bulky batteries and devices. Our objective is to develop a wireless Micro Electro-Optical system (MEMS) device for long-term, recording and manipulations of brain activity in rodents.

Join the team for a 3 year position as PhD candidate. The aim of the current project is to determine how social and spatial information are integrated in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. The candidate will use state-of-the-art electrophysiological recordings combined with optogenetic manipulations of brain activity and measurement of animal behavior.

An updated suite of viral vectors for in vivo calcium imaging using local and retro-orbital injections

We show that systemic injections of PHP.eB AAVs to express GECIs is a highly promising technique for imaging neural activity and circumvent the need for transgenic GECI expressing mouse lines. We also establish the use of novel soma-targeted GECIs that outperform current Ca2+ indicators using both systemic and local virus injections.
