We are hiring! Are you passionate about neuroscience and eager to understand how the brain processes negative experiences? The mrtllab is looking for a driven PhD candidate to study the neural mechanisms of nociception using Drosophila melanogaster as a genetic model. This project combines behavioral, anatomical, and physiological techniques to explore how nociceptive stimuli are processed and influenced […]
Our new biorxiv preprint! “Undoing of firing rate adaptation enables invariant population codes” Background adaptation is a classic topic in neuroscience, but poorly understood in olfaction. We studied it in first and second-order olfactory neurons with unexpected results. In collaboration with Luisa Ramirez, Marion Silies and Alexander Walter.
