معرفی
Moritz Weglage is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, affiliated with the Ölveczky Lab. His research focuses on understanding neural circuits underlying aversive states, behavioral flexibility, and decision-making processes in brain regions such as the hypothalamus-habenula pathway and basal ganglia. He employs advanced neurophysiological techniques to study synaptic plasticity and functional connectivity within these circuits.
Key research areas include: Neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience, Systems Neuroscience, and Neural Circuits. His work integrates molecular, circuit-level, and behavioral approaches to decipher how neural pathways encode and modulate aversive behaviors and motor control.
Recent publications emphasize the role of Esr1+ neurons in aversive states (2023), GPi neurons in behavioral adaptability (2022), and striato-pallido-habenular circuit functions (2022). Earlier work established the hypothalamus-habenula circuit as a key aversion control system (2019).
No scientific awards are listed in the provided materials. His affiliation with the Ölveczky Lab positions him within a collaborative research environment focused on systems neuroscience.
