Research

The department of Integrative Neurophysiology (INFlab) focusses on how circuits in the brain give rise to behaviour and cognition. With the research teams we address a wide range of exciting topics in Neuroscience research with the latest techniques.

About us

The INFlab was founded in 2008 by Huib Mansvelder as part of the CNCR and faculty of Earth and Life Sciences at VU University. The INFLab has strong research ties with the VU Medical Center and the Netherlands Institute for Neurosciences in Amsterdam.

Our latest activities

Burst spiking encodes exploratory whisker touch

Teams at the VU Amsterdam, Heidelberg University, Center of Advanced European Studies and Research (Bonn) and Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology (Martinsried) achieve next step in understanding how sensory information is represented across different cell-types of primary somatosensory (barrel) cortex of behaving rats. Their findings were published in Communications Biology.

From critical brain dynamics to E/I heterogeneity in autism

The group of Klaus Linkenkaer-Hansen (INF) established a method to estimate excitation/inhibition balance using the theory of critical brain dynamics. By teaming up with the group of Hilgo Bruining (Amsterdam UMC), the method is validated for physiological stratification of autism spectrum disorder.
