Key research themes
1. How does neural oscillatory coupling and spike synchrony contribute to regenerative neural activity and its dysregulation?
This research area investigates the dynamic interplay between neuronal oscillations and spike timing to understand the emergence, maintenance, and disruption of rhythmic neural communication in health and disease. It centers on how oscillatory coupling at specific frequencies can modulate local neuronal spiking synchrony to facilitate or impair regenerative neural network activity, with implications for cognitive functions and pathological states.

2. What roles do spike bursts and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) play in encoding and multiplexing rhythmic neural information?
This theme focuses on how bursts of action potentials and STDP mechanisms enable reliable, flexible communication and multiplexing of information across neural circuits, particularly within oscillatory contexts. Investigations explore the temporal patterning of spikes within bursts as a coding dimension, and how plasticity rules like STDP allow downstream neurons to simultaneously respond to multiple rhythmic inputs without severe competition, contributing to adaptive regenerative firing patterns.
