Lab homepage:	www.physiologie.uni-freiburg.de/research-groups/ag-veit
PhD positions available:	YES
Research Area:	Neurosciences
Research Interests:	We are interested in how cortical areas interact and investigate this in the visual system of mice. We are combining in vivo electrophysiology with Neuropixels probes, optogenetics and behaviour to understand how different brain areas coordinate their activity and give rise to perception.
