Nicolette N. Ognjanovski, Ph.D.

Using in vivo multi-electrode recordings of single-unit activity and population activity and behavior in mice, Nicolette works on disseminating network dynamics related to rhythmic patterns in networks related to circadian rhythms and sleep. Dr. Ognjanovski's current interests lie in combining experimental data with mathematical and physical models to derive empirically driven pictures of network structure to understand globally better-changing networks in response to environmental stimuli. This will provide information on whether desynchrony is a breakdown of individual parts or network structure as a whole, an important step in the understanding of disease pathology and treatment.
