Dr. Ole Paulsen

Biography

Professor Ole Paulsen is a leading researcher in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, where he holds the position of Principal Investigator and Chair in Physiology. His research primarily focuses on understanding relationship network oscillations and synaptic plasticity, particularly how network oscillations organize spike timing that influences synaptic changes. These processes are crucial for neural development and are implicated in learning and memory mechanisms. Through the application of advanced techniques such as whole-cell patch-clamp, planar multi-electrode recordings, and calcium imaging using light-activated channels (channelrhodopsins), he aims to gain insights into the information processing capabilities of neural networks that exhibit oscillatory activity. His work is conducted within the Neuronal Oscillations Group, where he leads investigations into the dynamics of neural activity and its role in cognitive functions.
