how higher brain functions such as sensation, perception, decision-making, and
memory, emerge from the interactions between brain areas and/or populations of
neurons within these areas. These topics are studied in the healthy brain and in
neuropsychiatric disorders, and they are addressed through a tight interplay between
theoretical and experimental approaches. Joint ongoing work focuses on how feedforward
and feedback communication across the cortical hierarchy, excitation-inhibition
balance, and neuromodulatory processes, shape decision-making. </span></p>
