Shreesh P. Mysore, Ph.D.
Despite the rich literature on the consequences of selective attention to behavior and to neural responses, as well as a wealth of models of competitive selection, little is known about the circuit mechanisms by which the brain actually selects the highest priority stimulus as the next target of spatial attention. Following a first principles approach…
Davide Dulcis, Ph.D.
Dr. Dulcis is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD. He is a faculty member of the Neurosciences graduate program and the Center for Circadian Biology at UCSD. He received his B.S. from University of Cagliari (Italy) double majoring in Physiology and Biology. While earning his Ph.D. from University of Arizona in Neuroscience, he illustrated…
Robert Hunt, Ph.D.
Interneurons and the control of memory precision Inhibitory interneurons govern the sparse activation of principal cells that permits appropriate behaviors, and they are activated during specific memory processes. Our recent work has demonstrated important roles for interneurons in disorders of brain development and injury. These studies have motivated our ongoing efforts to understand how these…
Francesco Battaglia, Ph.D.
Cortico-hippocampal interactions for memory Francesco Battaglia, PhD, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University Nijmegen Memory representations are evolving objects through the lifetime of a memory. The recording of large groups of neurons from behaving animals has been instrumental for investigating brain network dynamics supporting memory encoding consolidation and retrieval. Classically, upon memory encoding during…

Michael Halassa, M.D., Ph.D.
Networks Underlying Cognitive Control & Flexibility Michael Halassa is a MIT neuroscientist who aims to understand the basic circuit mechanisms of how information is routed in the brain and how disruptions in these circuits can lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders. As a practicing psychiatrist he aims to develop novel approaches to diagnosing and treating these…
