Karl Farrow is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Sciences, KU Leuven, affiliated with the Department of Biology and the Animal Physiology and Neurobiology unit. He is also a member of the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Neuro Electronics Research Flanders (NERF) and the KU Leuven Brain Institute.
Dr. Farrow's research focuses on neurobiology and visual processing, particularly the role of retinal ganglion cells and neural circuits in the superior colliculus. His work explores direction selectivity, motion perception, and adaptive mechanisms in visual systems under varying ambient conditions.
His recent projects include dissecting the neural basis of threat responses in the superior colliculus, studying evolutionary influences on innate behavior circuits, and developing tools like a single-objective light sheet microscope for 3D tissue analysis. Collaborative efforts involve synaptic transmission studies in amyloid-beta precursor protein interactions.
