Christian Leibold

Prof. Dr. Christian Leibold is a former faculty member of the Faculty of Biology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). His research focuses on theoretical and experimental neuroscience, particularly the hippocampal formation's role in spatial navigation and temporal coding. He investigated topics such as auditory processing, phase precession in hippocampal neurons, and the interaction between brain regions like the medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus.

Research Interests:

• Modeling hippocampal sequences and spatial navigation
• Temporal processing in auditory brainstem circuits
• Neuronal mechanisms of grid cells and place fields
• Data analysis of hippocampal activity patterns

Collaborations:

• University of California San Diego (UCSD)
• Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin
• Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) Munich

His work combines computational modeling with experimental approaches, addressing how neural circuits process spatial and temporal information. He contributed to understanding axonal myelination dynamics and the role of medial superior olive neurons in auditory localization.
