Research group description

The research group aims to decipher the neural basis of resilient behaviour in mouse models of resilience. The main focus is on the notion that resilience must be reflected in the initial processing of sensory afferents in the cortex. In the behaving rodent, local representation as well as cortico-cortical processing and finally the interpretation of these stimuli are investigated. Thus, direct causal conclusions can be drawn between spatio-temporal network patterns and resilient vs. susceptible behaviour. A main focus here is on slow network oscillations.

Current research projects
  • Learning Resilience (https://learning-resilience.de/)
  • Investigation of the regulation of neural excitability and the functionality of cortiocortical networks in relation to resilience: a multimodal and translational approach
  • Reflection of the resilient phenotype in brain-wide resting networks
  • Role of spontaneous activity in a mesoprefrontal circuit in the long-term consolidation of the extinction memory
