Locking of neural firing is ubiquitously observed in the brain and occurs when neurons fire at
a particular phase or in synchronization with an external signal. Here we study in detail the …

The central nervous system must determine which sensory events occur at the same time.
Actively moving the head corresponds with large changes in the relationship between the …

… Many thanks to Carolin Sachgau, for enduring support and friendship. Move out of
Germany, Carolin. No fish brains were harmed in the making of this thesis. …

… Thanks to all current and former lab members for their support; Mohammed Selman,
Adrian Pelin, Steve Ndikumana, Stephanie Pichette, Stephan Amyotte, Carolin Sachgau and …

We sought to investigate the role of the Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) pathway in neuronal
positioning along the Anterior-Posterior (AP) axis of C. elegans, and chose the worm’s DD-type …

… , to Lukas Sonnenberg, Benjamin Eggs, Torina Wunder and Manfred Drack for their good
ideas and solicitude and to Carolin Sachgau and Theresa Jones for linguistic assistance. …

Extracting complementary features in parallel pathways is a widely used strategy for a robust
representation of sensory signals. Weakly electric fish offer the rare opportunity to study …

… suggest that she was murdered, and although the circumstances of Hall’s death remain less
clear, family members conveyed their belief that he ‘‘gave up the will to live’’(Sachgau 2014)…

Multiple topographic representations of sensory space are common in the nervous system
and presumably allow organisms to separately process particular features of incoming …

Although communication signals often vary continuously on the underlying signal parameter,
they are perceived as distinct categories. We here report the opposite case where an …
