Connectomics of the mammalian brain
We use 3D electron microscopy and AI-based image analysis to map the mammalian cerebral cortex, the most complex network known. We study how cortical circuits evolve across species, from mouse to human, and develop connectomic screening for experience- and disease-related circuit changes. We aim to reveal the circuit architecture behind cognition (prediction, long-term memory) and identify its pathological alterations as connectopathies.
