Alexander Tesmer

Alexander Tesmer is a Doctorate student at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST) of ETH Zürich, affiliated with the Institute for Neuroscience. His work focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying metabolic and behavioral regulation through advanced neuroscience methodologies.

• Current Role: Researcher in the Neurobehavioural Dynamics group
• Location: Schorenstrasse 16, 8603 Schwerzenbach, Switzerland

Research Interests span neuroscience, neurobiology, and cognitive science, with a particular emphasis on:

• Orexin neuron dynamics and metabolic state monitoring
• Neurocognitive processes in decision-making
• Neural encoding of physiological parameters
• Development of optogenetic and fluorescent tools

Key Article Trends reveal a focus on hypothalamic orexin systems, neurometabolic interactions, and advanced imaging techniques applied to zebrafish and rodent models. His publications demonstrate expertise in combining behavioral analysis with neural activity monitoring.
