Moritz buchholz
Moritz is a PhD student using an all-optical approach to study memory in the hippocampus.
He completed his Bachelor in Biology and Master in Neurobiology at ETH Zürich, with an exchange semester in Princeton. During his rotations in the labs of Fritjof Helmchen and Kevan Martin, he applied wide-field imaging during behaviour and patch-clamps recordings to study neural computation in the cortex.
Moritz joined the Häusser lab in 2018, having secured a PhD fellowship from the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds. He is exploiting an all-optical approach to study the causal role of hippocampal sequences in associating temporally separated events.
