Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Abhishek Banerjee. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Abhishek Banerjee is a neuroscientist affiliated with the University of Oxford and Queen Mary University of London. His research aims to unravel neural circuits that implement flexible decision-making and how dysfunctions in these circuits contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. He leads the Adaptive Decisions Lab, which combines rodent behavioral tasks with mesoscopic two-photon calcium imaging and optogenetics to probe the dynamics of micro- and mesoscopic circuits. He integrates computational models, such as reinforcement learning and Bayesian approaches, with human neuroimaging techniques like EEG and fMRI to bridge insights across species. His work has significant implications for understanding the mechanisms underlying altered behavior in developmental brain disorders.
