Ana F. Vicente

Biography

 RESEARCH ACTIVITIES He currently studies the role of the nucleus reuniens in spatial navigation and its interactions with hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. They use silicon probes to record simultaneously dozens of neurons and local field potentials in freely-moving animals. Together with the postdoc Andrea Slezia, He studies the neuronal activity of the supramammilary nucleus and its interactions with the hippocampus. They combined local field recordings and single cell recordings with silicon probes and juxtacellular electrodes in anesthetized animals.
