DENMAN LAB - Key Persons
2022 BRAiN Summer Student. Anne Claire is an undergraduate at Colorado State University intersted in the mechanisms of cognition and behavior.
The lab sits on the original homelands of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Ute and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ peoples.
Research Associate. Beth is training mice to perform a visual task and recording from ensembles of neurons across the visual system.
PI. Dan was previously a Scientist at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, where he worked on development and testing of high-density extracellular electrophysiology methods, in service of studying the population statistics and circuit interactions that underlie visual representation in the mouse early visual system. Prior to that, he received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania, in the lab of Diego Contreras. Even longer ago than that he began his journey into experimental neuroscience, and the statistics of visual representations, working with Rowland Taylor (then at OHSU) as an undergraduate at Reed College.
Professional Research Assistant. Grant is a jack-of-all-trades in the lab, training mice on visual psychophysics tasks, developing whole-brain expression viral expression techniques, making brains clear, and building software. His work is focused on the anatomy of electrical stimulation.
MD-PhD Student. Jordan is studying the biophysics of electrical stimulation from multiple angles and across scales. His work utilizes high-density electrophysiology as well as imaging techniques.
MD-PhD Student. Juan earned his BS and MS degrees from the University of Florida where he worked in the lab of Gordon S. Mitchell studying neuroplasticity following spinal cord injury. He moved to Colorado in 2018 to begin pursuing his MD/PhD, and joined the Denman lab in August 2020. Juan is using mutliple Neuropixels to study the neural representation of color in the early visual system.
Undergraduate student, University of Colorado Denver. Katie is training mice to perform perceptually ambiguous visual discrimination tasks and recording from ensembles of neurons across the visual system while they do so.
Neuroscience PhD student (co-Advised with Cristin Welle). Kim is studying motor cortex activity during reaching behaviors, and how it is modulated, particularly by acetylcholine.
Fall 2022 Neuroscience Rotation Student. With Person Lab, Maham is studying the synchrony of populations of Purkinje neurons.
Rotation Student, Computational Bioscience Program. Nick is developing methods to extract neural information from high-density electrophysiological recordings, including in the context of intracranial electrical stimulation.
