Investigate how mice learn and generalize between virtual and real environments in the Optophysiology Lab at IMBIT. The project combines behavioural experiments, neural recordings and quantitative analysis with development and in-vivo validation of a two-photon miniscope. The researcher will contribute to device design, model behavioural and neural data, and help interpret and publish findings.…

Basal ganglia are essential for learning and adapting movements, yet their output is often unnecessary for executing learned actions. A biologically grounded model of the closed cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loop explains this apparent discrepancy. Dopamine-dependent plasticity, recurrent cortical dynamics and basal ganglia feedback jointly support early motor acquisition and adaptation,…
