The multiscale, adaptive brain: neuromodulatory control of information flow. This project will investigate how the brain coordinates its activity across different scales to support flexible cognition

Description

The multiscale, adaptive brain: neuromodulatory control of information flow. This project will investigate how the brain coordinates its activity across different scales to support flexible cognition and behaviour. By integrating physics-inspired analysis, biophysical modelling, and existing cross-species imaging datasets, this research will reveal how neuromodulatory systems regulate information flow and neural organisation. These insights will advance our understanding of the fundamental principles governing brain function. Expected outcomes include next-generation multiscale models, high-impact publications, and international collaborations. This research will strengthen Australia’s leadership in computational and systems neuroscience while providing advanced training for the next generation of neuroscientists.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 3101 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Dr Brandon Munn
