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.

Anastasia Tsopanidou
Anastasia Tsopanidou
PhD rotation student

I am a Neuroscience Academy Denmark (NAD) fellow, currently undergoing a 10-week lab rotation at the Petersen lab. During my MSc thesis project, I studied how the neuromodulator norepinephrine impacts excitatory signalling in a mouse model of stress-induced depression. My current academic interests include the relationship between the thermoregulatory system and the alternation of sleep stages as well as how temperature manipulations may affect oscillatory patterns, memory and cognition.
