Brain circuit dynamics in Action and Sleep

Our group focuses on brain computation, physiology and evolution, with a particular focus on network dynamics, sleep (evolution and mechanistic underpinnings), cortical computation (through the study of ancestral cortices), and sensorimotor processing. This talk will describe our recent results on the remarkable camouflage behavior of cuttlefish (action) and on brain activity in REM and NonREM in lizards (sleep). Both topics will focus on aspects of circuit dynamics.
