We are pleased to welcome Istvan Lukacs to the Unit. Istvan is a M.Sc. in Neuroscience student at the University of Oxford, and has joined the Dupret Group for his second lab rotation, under Mohamady El-Gaby’s supervision. During his time in the Unit, Istvan will be studying the coordination of neuronal activity across the CA1 and the CA3 regions of the dorsal hippocampus during a conditional discrimination task. This is conducted while simultaneously recording extracellular field potentials and multiple single-unit spiking, combined with optogenetic manipulations, during learning and sleep.
