Professor Dr. Ehsan Arabzadeh

Biography

Ehsan Arabzadeh is a Group Leader at the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience at the Australian National University. His research focuses on sensory processing at the single-cell level within neuronal populations. Using rodent models, Arabzadeh investigates the neural circuits that underlie sensory processing behavior. His work utilizes advanced electrophysiological and optical techniques to observe neuronal activity in both anesthetized and awake behaving animals. His Mathematical methods are applied to quantify how single neurons and neuronal ensembles code sensory stimuli in relation to animal behavior. He leads the Neural Coding Group, which specifically studies the rat whisker-barrel pathway, a well-characterized circuit known for its high functional efficiency. Arabzadeh is also actively involved in supervising research students in various sensory processing topics. His significant contributions to the field are reflected in numerous projects and collaborations over the years, enhancing our understanding of sensory processing and its implications for neurobiology and behavior.
