Job Description
The successful applicant will build a simulation model of the rodent visual cortex and use it to assess the role of dendritic nonlinearities on the connectivity and activity properties of the resulting memory engrams. Selected model predictions will be tested in headfixed behaving animals performing a visual discrimination task.
