Development of function in asymmetric brain circuits

Elena will combine the use of optogenetics imaging techniques, zebrafish and behavioural assays to investigate the formation of anatomical and functional brain asymmetries during development. This work will be undertaken in the laboratory of Professor Steve Wilson at UCL, Dr Michael Orger at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown (Lisbon) and Dr Emre Yaksi at NERF (Leuven).
