Neuroscience and Neurotechnology

Our aims are (i) to understand how information is encoded, stored in and retrieved from memory by the mammalian brain; (ii) to understand how this dysfunctions in neurodegenerative disease states such as Alzheimer’s Disease, and (iii) to develop therapeutic approaches to enhance or restore memory circuit function. To achieve these aims, we develop new technology for studying the brain, perform neuroscience experiments in mice performing memory tasks, and develop new algorithms for analysing large-scale brain imaging datasets. Our approach to studying the brain is heavily influenced by physics and engineering.
