業務内容
募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
Our lab investigates how neural circuits generate flexible, task-dependent behaviour, with a particular focus on olfactory processing during learning and decision-making. We combine large-scale electrophysiology (Neuropixels), intracellular recordings, optogenetics, and quantitative behavioural paradigms to link neural population dynamics to behaviour.
仕事内容・職務内容
The successful candidate will lead projects aimed at uncovering the circuit and dynamic physiological mechanisms underlying task-dependent sensory representations. Approaches may include high-density electrophysiology, patch-clamp recordings, and circuit perturbations in behaving animals, with flexibility to develop independent directions aligned with the lab’s goals.
