Electrophysiological study of the novelty detecting mechanism in the mouse brain. KU Leuven
Detecting novel stimuli in the environment is an important aspect of behavior. It makes sure our attention goes out to the relevant stimuli. Sensory representation in higher order cortices is different between novel and familiar stimuli. The aim of our project is to investigate how and where the aspect of novelty is detected and encoded in the olfactory system of mice by means of electrophsyciological measurements and in combination with a ...
How subjective value shapes sensory representations in the adult brain. KU Leuven
Many forms of learning rely on the association of neutral stimuli with rewarding or aversive experiences. It is currently unknown i) how the (sub)cortical representations of sensory cues change during and after the learning process and ii) which structures and networks are critically involved in driving such changes. We aim to address these questions using a multimodal, interdisciplinary approach involving highly-refined correlational and ...
