electrophysiology

We use patch-clamp electrophysiology in brain sections or cell cultures. Usually combined with fluorescent markers to define discrete cell populations or circuits

Mouse Behaviour

We use diverse behavioral approaches to study anxiety, fear, reward and aversion. We are currently setting the use of DeepLabCut

circuit manipulation

We use in vivo optogenetics and DREADDs to gain remote control of defined circuits and study behavior

fiber photometry

We are using RDW systems to correlate calcium transients and discrete behaviors

Anatomy/histology

We combine viral mediated tract tracing with immunohistochemistry to unravel the wonders of cell diversity and long-ranging brain circuits
