Dr. Bence Ölveczky

Biography

Bence P. Ölveczky is a Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research laboratory focuses on principles and mechanisms of neural circuits that acquire and generate complex behaviors, particularly using rodent model systems. Ölveczky and his team concentrate on understanding the processes involved in motor sequence learning by measuring and manipulating the activity of underlying circuits. Their goal is to provide a mechanistic description of how motor sequences are learned and produced through neuronal connections. Ölveczky has authored several significant publications in the field, contributing to the understanding of motor skill execution and the neurological basis of behaviors across species.
