ovative therapeutic options from the results.

Dr. Stefan Schuster (42), DFG Heisenberg Fellow and privatdozent at the Institute of Zoology II at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg

How does our brain control complex decision-making and how does it adapt to the ever changing circumstances and conditions in our environment? Stefan Schuster wants to study these key questions of cognitive neurobiology at the cellular level in fish. Schuster will combine behavioural physiology, electrophysiology, functional imaging, computational neuroscience and zebrafish genetics. He aims to determine how the world is represented at the level of very small decision-making networks in the mammalian brain in such a way that flexible, yet nevertheless reliable action is possible.
