Summary
This paper discusses the author's research into the links between the molecular and electrical rhythms in the brain's biological clock and their circadian behavioral output.
Categories
Neuroscience: The paper is a dissertation in the field of neuroscience, focusing on the study of the brain's biological clock.
Cognitive function and memory: The author initially wanted to use electrophysiology to study learning and memory in the hippocampus.
Education and learning: The author discusses his educational journey and experiences in graduate school, including the courses and techniques he learned.
Lighting Design Considerations: The author used optogenetics, a technique that involves the use of light to control cells in living tissue, in his research.
