Understanding cortical circuitry underlying sensory integration and the consequence of its developmental disruption [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Ehsan Arabzadeh (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Linda Richards

Brief description The mammalian neocortex is organised into six layers with a systematic pattern of wiring that relies on normal development and balanced activity of neurons. This project combines developmental, electrophysiological, optogenetic behavioural, and computational methods to establish how the properties of the precise structure of cortical circuits impact their function and how disruptions in the balanced activity during development affect circuit formation and function in the mature brain.
