Mechanisms and functions of interhemispheric coupling in behaving mice (D01)

• Subject Area: Molecular Biology and Physiology of Neurons and Glial Cells
• Term: since 2013
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 227953431

The continuation proposal of the CRC includes a project by Ilan Lampl from the Weizmann Institute in Israel, who has been a CRC member since the first funding period. This group is one of the leading groups worldwide that is using in vivo patch-clamp recordings to understand cortical dynamics and the role of inhibition-excitation balance. The proposed project D01 will address the role of interhemispheric connectivity in integrating bilateral sensory information, and the role of this process in coordinating motor behavior.
