Dr. Jeffrey Stedehouder

Jeffrey holds a BA in Egyptology and a BSc (hons) in Psychology from Leiden University and a MSc (hons) in Neuroscience from Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Jeffrey attained his DPhil in 2019 from the Erasmus University Rotterdam working on the myelination of GABAergic interneurons in health and disease. This research involved a combination of molecular biology, whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology, histology and microscopy in mouse brains and human acute surgical brain tissue.

He spent short periods training at the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology, Cambridge, as well as with Prof. Stephanie Cragg at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford, to train in mouse behavioral assessments, in vivo electrophysiology, and approaches to measure monoamines, respectively.

Jeffrey joined the groups of Dr. Andrew Sharott and Prof. Charlotte Stagg at the BNDU in 2022 as a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow. His research involves high-density in vivo electrophysiological recordings and optogenetic manipulations to examine motor learning and cognitive functioning, with a particular focus on psychiatric disorders.
