Optogenetic decomposition of inhibitory micro-circuits in the mouse V1 and S1 (INTERNEURONS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

GABAergic interneurons are known to play a central role in sensory processing, circuit plasticity in the developing cortex and several neurological disorders. However, the role of specific interneuron subtypes in the emergence of functional properties or in the modulation of spontaneous cortical dynamics is still unclear. In this project, we propose to study interneuron micro-circuits in two prima ...

Contribution of neurogliaform cells to signal flow in the barrel cortex during whisking behaviour (Neurogliaform cells)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The barrel cortex is the part of rodent primary somatosensory cortex which is responsible for the tactile representation of whiskers. It is recognized as a key model system for understanding fundamental aspects of active sensory processing and more generally investigations into this cortical area have already provided a large amount of information about the basic architecture of cortical microcirc ...

Development and application of standardized methodology for the PROspective SUstaInability assessment of TEchnologies (PROSUITE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"The main goal of PROSUITE is to develop a framework methodology, operational methods and tools for the sustainability assessment of current and future technologies over their life cycle, applicable to different stages of maturity. The project will apply the methodology for four technology cases with close consultation of the stakeholders involved, which includes cases from biorefineries, nanotech ...

Thalamic sensory processing during different behaviours (Sensory thalamus)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

Sensory information is actively acquired and processed in the brain. This is particularly evident in the rodent whisker sensorimotor pathway, where the animal actively moves its whiskers back and forth during exploratory tactile behaviour. Sensory processing in the somatosensory neocortex has been shown to depend strongly upon ongoing behaviour. This state-dependent activity might arise through sp ...
