Post-doctoral fellow
PhD NERF-KULeuven – Belgium
I am interested to understand how animals respond differently to the same sensory stimulus depending on their internal states. For instance, reactions of the animals to food when they are hungry, and when they are fed are not the same. I address the neural mechanisms underlying this behavior utilizing multiple approaches including simultaneous neural and behavioral imaging, and pharmacological and chemogenetic techniques.
