Our research at the Neuron2Brain leverages access to the human brain through the surgical treatment of those with epilepsy, with research spanning from single-neuron biophysics to the collective behaviour of the billions of neurons underlying human cognition. This research uses various techniques to interrogate cortical circuits including electrophysiology, behaviour, optogenetics and transcriptomics.
