| RESEARCH ACTIVITIES - Description used by investigators to specify their area of expertise. |
| Key words: |
Prefrontal Cortex, Dopamine, Electrophysiology, working memory, computational modeling |
| Research interests: |
My research focuses on the prefrontal cortex and its modulation by dopamine. We perform multi-neuron recordings in behaving rats and use computer models based on patch-clamp data to link behaviors to cellular and synaptic processes. We have shown how dopamine might modulate signal to noise processing in active cortical networks in the normal and schizophrenic brain |
