Research in the Decision Circuits Lab located (BCCN Berlin, Germany) focuses on the neural principles that underlie decision-making. By employing state-of-the-art tools in systems neuroscience, we seek to develop cortical circuits and ask how dopamine and serotonin enable adaptive decisions. Your job: (i) research in systems neuroscience focusing on the role of cortical serotonin for temporal cognition and decision-making (ii) use of state-of-the-art experimental tools such as quantitative psychophysics, high-throughput electrophysiology, chemical sensor imaging, and optogenetics in rats (iii) collaborative development of analyses and computational models of behavior and cortical functions.
