JOHNSTON LAB

We are interested in how the brain is able to perceive the external world. We focus on neural circuits in the early sensory pathway and aim to understand how these neural circuits perform specific computations. To investigate how neural circuits function we employ a combination of multi-photon imaging, electrophysiology, optogenetics and computational modelling... We have developed Optical MultiModal Imaging (OMMI) enabling simultaneous imaging of structural, intrinsic-optical, and fluorescent signals
