Medial Axis Shape Coding in Macaque Inferotemporal Cortex

Welcome Kristina Nielsen PhD, and the Nielsen Lab to the MBI!
Kristina Nielsen did her PhD in the lab of Nikos Logothetis at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen, Germany, where she investigated the encoding of objects and object parts in inferotemporal cortex. In 2006, she joined the labs of Ed Callaway and Rich Krauzlis at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA, as a post-doctoral fellow. Her post-doctoral work focused on two techniques that allow studying the function of neural circuits in vivo with a high degree of specificity – viral vector-based approaches and two-photon microscopy. Kristina Nielsen joined the MBI in July. Research in her lab will focus un studying the structure and function of the neural circuits underlying object encoding.
