Research

Our goal is to resolve the networks underlying spatial navigation tasks, in particular the interplay of neurons in the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex in mammals, at the single cell and single synapse level (i.e. the precise mapping of all point-to-point connections between all involved neurons at their chemical synapses). We use cutting-edge 3D electron microscopy methods for large-scale high-resolution mapping of neuronal circuits.
