We’re having lots of fun designing tasks to study neural circuits of spatial orientation in mice, and we’re looking for PhD candidates to join the adventure!

Email me to learn more or apply for a PhD with us: www.keshavarzilab.com

🗓️ Deadline for expressions of interest: 30 October.

Zampieri Lab The execution of coordinated movements depends on the ability to dynamically adapt motor plans to external conditions and perturbations. Spinal circuits integrate motor commands and sensory information in order to generate precise patterns of muscle activation. The detection of different sensory stimuli and their integration with descending commands from the brain and local spinal networks is therefore critical for motor control. Our laboratory studies the mechanisms controlling assembly and function of spinal sensorimotor circuits by combining transcriptomics, genetics, tracing, and behavioral analyses to reveal how these circuits are first organized during development and then function in controlling movement and coding of sensory information.

Locomotion selectively enhances visual speed encoding in mouse medial higher visual areas Mammalian visual systems are comprised of multiple brain areas with distinct functional roles. Whilst functional specialisations have been proposed in the mouse based on visual feature encoding, the e...

Excited to share a new preprint investigating whether functional specialisations of mouse higher visual areas (HVAs) depend on behaviour.
