Daniel Uhlrich is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the neural modulation of visual signals, particularly the role of the thalamus in processing these signals related to perception and behavior. Uhlrich investigates how thalamic circuits contribute to the generation of brain rhythms during sleep and wakefulness, as well as the pathological rhythms observed in conditions such as photosensitive epilepsy. His research utilizes various neuroanatomical and electrophysiological methods, including light and electron microscopy, alongside single- and multi-unit recordings to study these processes. Uhlrich also serves as the Associate Vice-Chancellor for Research Policy at UW-Madison, reflecting his commitment to advancing research in neuroscience at the university level. His contributions to the field include elucidating the mechanisms by which thalamic activation can lead to phototriggered seizures, thereby addressing critical aspects of how visual stimuli can influence neurological conditions.
