Anna Chambers
Faglige interesser
Jeg er generelt interessert i (1) hvordan korteks prosseserer informasjon for å generere atferd, og (2) hvordan erfaring (for eksempel gjennom læring, sykdom eller skade) påvirker struktur og funksjon i korteks. For å undersøke disse temaene har jeg tatt i bruk en rekke forskjellige teknikker, inkludert ekstracellulær elektrofysiologi, to-foton mikroskopi og dyreatferd. I mine studier som postdoc i Koen Vervaekes gruppe, jobber jeg mot en forståelse av struktur og funksjon av mikrokretser i retrosplenial korteks, et hjerneområde som er kritisk for navigasjon og hukommelse.
