معرفی
Prof. Daniel Huber is a leading neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, focusing on understanding sensorimotor integration and cortical dynamics. His work bridges motor cortex research, optical imaging, and computational modeling to decode how neural circuits govern voluntary movements and tactile perception.
- Research spans rodent models and primate evolution through projects like the eLemur 3D brain atlas
- Key methodologies: in vivo two-photon microscopy, optogenetic manipulation, and biomechanical simulations
- Lab members include graduate students and collaborators studying Pacinian corpuscle physiology and forelimb motor control
Recent publications reveal groundbreaking insights on lamellar Schwann cells' role in vibration perception, tonotopic mapping in the brainstem, and cross-species neural circuit comparisons. His team's 2025 Science Advances paper demonstrates Schwann cell contributions to mechanosensitivity using optogenetic inactivation.
Current projects focus on neuronal network dynamics in decision-making and 3D anatomical frameworks for comparative studies. The lab's Swiss National Science Foundation grants and European Research Council funding enable these interdisciplinary approaches.
