Dr. Anne Petzold leads the group “Neural circuits for behavioral adaptation” at the European Neuroscience Institute. Her work aims to uncover how peripheral signals from the body inform subcortical networks of the brain to modulate essential innate behaviors according to physiological needs and environmental opportunities. The group specializes in single-photon microendoscopy in the freely moving animal, as well as cell type-specific neural activity manipulations and neuropsychopharmacology to identify and characterize neural substrates relevant for behavioral regulation.
