Dr. Laura Busse

Biography

Laura Busse is a researcher specializing in neurobiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Her work focuses on understanding how visual processing in the brain is influenced by various factors, including locomotion and past experiences. She has collaborated on several projects that investigate the role of cortico-thalamic feedback circuits in the visual system, using advanced techniques such as optogenetics and electrophysiological recordings in transgenic mouse models. Busse has contributed significantly to the field with her studies on visual behavior and the neural basis for context-dependent processing, highlighting the importance of inhibitory interneurons in visual perception. She is actively involved in research funded by various organizations, including the German Research Foundation (DFG), and has worked closely with prestigious institutions such as the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. Throughout her career, she has co-organized symposia and collaborated with notable researchers, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of sensory processing across different species and environments.
