The modulation of neuronal activity by inter-cortical sensory input [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lucy Palmer (Principal investigator)

Brief description For any given behaviour, the brain must merge information from all different sensory systems to generate a coherent representation of the external world. How this is achieved is largely unknown and is the basis of this research proposal. Here, using cutting edge recording techniques, the activity of brain cells within the cortex will be measured during the activation of multiple sensory systems. This research will provide insight into therapeutic approaches to local brain damage.
