a team investigating molecular, physiological and cell biological mechanisms
of synaptic transmission and information storage in the vertebrate brain.
Current emphasis is on long-term plasticity and network behavior in the
forebrain. This interdisciplinary research uses optical (multiphoton,
confocal, TIRF and ultrafast CCD imaging), electrophysiological, molecular
biological, ultrastructural and computational methods.
Candidates should have prior experience with intracellular or whole-cell
electrophysiological recording in brain slices or intact brain. For
representative lab publications, see Neuron 38 (2003) 797-804, 37 (2003)
