We are very happy to welcome Nancy Mulaiese as a new doctoral researcher to the team. Nancy is joining through the IMPRS-BI program and will work on an exciting project regarding the impact of cortico-thalamic feedback on information processing in visual cortex. We will perform detailed circuit manipulations and recordings from dLGN and V1. We will also collaborate with Tatjana Tchumatchenko on extending V1 network models with the thalamo-cortico-thalamic loop.
