Abstract:

Brain oscillations play a key role in understanding the cognitive processes in humans and rodents. Rhythmic oscillatory activities at the theta frequency (4-12Hz) in the hippocampus, one of the largest synchronous oscillatory signals in the mammalian brain, have long attracted attention because they have been implicated in diverse brain functions. Interestingly, there have been long arguments on the heterogeneity of hippocampal theta rhythm and its relation with specific behaviors. However, we have recently clarified this issue by genetic dissection of theta rhythm and its association with spatial cognition and anxiety behaviors using genetic mutations in mice. In my talk, I will present our findings suggesting that the calcium signaling controls hippocampal theta oscillations and its associated behaviors.

Brief Biodata:

  After completing his Doctorate degree (Ph.D) in the subject of  Biotechnology with specializations in Molecular Neurobiology and Cell Biology  from  the Center for Neuroscience, CUSAT, India, he  joined in Dr.Hee-Sup Shin’s group to pursue my further research as a postdoc in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience, at the Center for Neural Science, Korea Institute of Science and Technologyl, South Korea. At present he is continuing with the same group at the Center for Cognition and Sociality, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Daejeon, South Korea. He is interested in the area of Behavioral Neuroscience, Brain disorders and  the mechanisms underlying these  behaviors with  emphasis  on the network interaction
