Bazhenov Research Group
The long-range goal of our research program is to understand general aspects and basic mechanisms of biological rhythms and the role of neuronal oscillations and synchrony in information processing. Our work focuses on the following areas: (1) studying cellular and network mechanisms for normal (sleep, activated states) and abnormal (epilepsy) oscillations in the thalamocortical system; (2) investigating principles and rules of olfactory information processing; this project is targeted to discover the general principles and the neural circuitry involved in the encoding of sensory information in the brain. To address these questions, we use broad spectrum of computational approaches ranging from detailed conductance based models developed from experimental data to different classes of simplified neuronal models that allow large-scale analysis with realistic network structure.
NEW! Several postdoc positions are available in computational and experimental neuroscience in Maxim Bazhenov's lab at the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience and Institute for Integrative Genome Biology (http://www.genomics.ucr.edu/) at the University of California, Riverside. Please contact M.Bazhenov for details. |
