Alexander Morley has joined Dr David Dupret's Group as a D.Phil. student. Alex has previously worked in Dr. Bains’ lab at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute in Canada, where his project was focused on using optogenetic and immunohistochemical techniques to delineate a novel stress-related neuronal circuit.

Over the next few years, Alex will perform multi-channel extracellular recordings to investigate how oscillatory communication between the hippocampus and its connected brain circuits contributes to multi-modal information processing for the purpose of memory and adaptive behaviours.
