Research Interests Personnel Publications
The Computational Neuroanatomy Group is a multidisciplinary research team devoted to the study of basic neuroscience. We are specifically interested in the description and generation of dendritic morphology, and in its effect on neuronal electrophysiology. In the long term, we seek to create large-scale, anatomically plausible neural networks to model entire portions of a mammalian brain (such as a hippocampal slice, or a cortical column).
