The processing of sensory information within cortical circuits

该项目旨在提高我们对感官知觉过程中神经元活动的认识，从而阐明行为过程中大脑的整体功能。了解树突如何接收和处理这些信息对于理解大脑在感觉处理和感知过程中的功能至关重要。这一建议旨在描述感觉输入过程中的树突活动，并发现这种活动如何有助于行为任务。特别是，该项目计划调查在感觉知觉和基于感觉的行为中不同树突域的活动。该项目旨在提高我们对树突在转换来自感官环境的信息方面的重要性的认识，并强调对行为有贡献的细胞和网络机制。

This project aims to improve our knowledge of neuronal activity during sensory perception and therefore shed light on overall brain function during behaviour. Understanding how dendrites receive and process this information is crucial to understanding brain function during sensory processing and perception. This proposal aims to characterise dendritic activity during sensory input and discover how this activity contributes to behavioural tasks. In particular, the project plans to investigate activity of different dendritic domains during sensory perception and sensory-based behaviour. The project seeks to improve our knowledge of the importance of dendrites in transforming information from the sensory environment and highlight the cellular and network mechanisms contributing to behaviour.
