#introduction Hi everyone!

I'm a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London. We study how neurons in the neocortex connect to each other - and how they choose, which connections to make. We mostly use the visual cortex as a model and are particularly interested in how it contributes to depth perception. In many mammals depth perception develops without visual experience and we are looking for the innate circuits that support it. We also develop new methods to study the relationship between gene expression, connectivity and in vivo functional properties of single neurons.
