Description of the research topic:
The medial septum, part of the basal forebrain, plays an important role in the regulation of learning and memory. In addition, the neurons of the medial septum are also known to perform movement control functions. The PhD candidate will use electrophysiological, functional imaging, anatomical, microscopic and mathematical analysis methods to investigate the role of medial septal cell types in mice. The studies will include the role of cholinergic, glutamatergic and GABAergic cells in the regulation of learning and memory, working memory, movement and related brain oscillations, and to better elucidate the coordination between these.
