Peter C. Petersen
Principal Investigator and Associate 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.

NAD PhD Fellow

Supervisors: Peter Petersen and Barbara Lykke Lind

I have a background in electrophysiology and pharmacology. My PhD research focuses on how the medial septum and hippocampus interact to form the cognitive map, using chronic silicon probe recordings and two-photon imaging. I primarily investigates the septo-hippocampal pathway in both health and disease utilizing animal models.

Master’s Student

As a master’s student in neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, I investigates the role of the medial septum in path integration. My current research focuses on analyzing Neuropixel probe data to understand neuronal firing patterns in relation to theta oscillations and behavioral states. I also contributes to BrainSTEM to help new users implement the platform.

PhD Fellow (Primary supervisor: Celia Kjærby)

I am a Neuroscience Academy Denmark PhD fellow. My thesis project investigates the role of temperature in memory consolidation during sleep, with a specific focus on Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). I am particularly interested in the oscillatory dynamics of neuromodulators and brain temperature across different brain states, their dysregulation in AD, and exploring ways to manipulate these factors to mitigate AD-related symptoms.
