Peter Petersen

Principal Investigator and Assistant Professor

I am a systems neuroscientist and electrophysiologist studying the brain’s neuronal network dynamics. I am leading our research focused on spatial memory and the involved mechanisms like theta oscillations in behaving rats, and the development of related tools.

Martynas Dervinis

Postdoctoral Fellow

I am a systems neuroscientist with experience in studying generation of normal and abnormal rhythms and neural activity dynamics in the hippocampus and the thalamocortical system using electrophysiology and computational modelling tools. In my next research project, I will be focusing on hippocampal theta rhythm generation and its function in spatial cognition of rodents.
