Prof. Jozsef Csicsvari
Honorary Scientist | ||||||||
|
Prof. Jozsef Csicsvari graduated in Informatics at the Technical University of Budapest, Hungary, in 1993. He then went to Rutgers University, USA, to study for his Ph.D. in Neuroscience under the supervision of Prof. Gyorgy Buzsaki. Following the award of his Ph.D. in 1999, he remained in the laboratory of Prof. Buzsaki and continued with postdoctoral training between 1999-2002. In January 2003, he joined the MRC Anatomical Neuropharmacology Unit as a group leader. Prof. Csicsvari has focused on the use of multi-channel extracellular recordings (silicon probes & independently movable wire tetrode arrays in up to 96 channels) to study the function of hippocampal neuron-ensembles during behaviour. In his past research, he studied different classes of interneurons and examined their interactions with pyramidal cells, with a view to understanding the mechanisms of hippocampal network oscillations and the nature of network interactions between hippocampal subfields. His longer term research goal is to understand how local cortical circuits and the organized activity of such circuits contribute to behaviour.
