I am a PhD candidate researching the neural control mechanisms underlying cephalopods camouflage, with a focus on how individual motor neurons regulate skin chromatophores. My research uses electrophysiology and neural tracing to explore how motor neurons in the posterior chromatophore lobe regulate skin chromatophores. By combining experimental techniques with computational analysis, I aim to uncover the dynamics of neural circuits and their role in rapid camouflage. Beyond my current work, I am fascinated by the broader dynamics of neural circuits and their role in behaviour modulation. I aim to combine experimental data with computational modelling to elucidate how different sensory inputs converge on motor neurons to drive chromatophore responses. By quantitatively analysing these interactions, I plan to develop detailed models of neural circuits that explain the rapid and adaptive nature of camouflage.
