Neural circuits and neuromodulation

Lab Head: Eric-Lowet

Lab Description

In our research lab, we study the complex world of neural circuits and cell types using advanced optical and electrophysiological technologies. We aim to understand how the brain communicates during normal and unhealthy conditions. Our focus includes Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as a form of intervention. By exploring how DBS affects neural circuits, we hope to reveal the therapeutic mechanisms that lead to improvements in patients.

We welcome potential PhD students and offer opportunities for Bachelor/Master internships. For inquiries, please reach out to Dr. Eric Lowet at e.lowet@erasmusmc.nl.
