Methods in use in our research group:
- Large scale extracellular recordings of populations of neurons.
- Two photon laser scanning microscopy of neuronal structure and function.
- Behavioural tasks.
- Immunohistochemistry.
- Genetic tools for cell type specific targeting; viral vectors, optogenetics and transgenic mouse lines.
The Hafting-Fyhn lab is a research group In the Section of Physiology and Cell Biology. The new master students will be supervised by M Fyhn and T Hafting and will be teamed up with post docs and PhD students in the group that who will be co-supervisors for the student. We can offer one master project. In the specific project, a novel technique to visualize neurons in the brain post mortem will be established. Neural projections between sensory cortices and higher brain structures will be investigated in order to understand contributing factors to sensory information processing in the brain.
