Eva Naumann, PhD

Assistant Professor of Neurobiology

The Naumann lab is generally interested in the dynamics of brain-scale neural circuit functions underlying sensorimotor transformations. We leverage the experimental advantages of the translucent larval zebrafish using behavioral monitoring, whole-brain volumetric calcium imaging, optogenetics, computational modeling, and neuromechanical simulations. With access to almost all cells, including neurons, in this model system, we aim to decode neural mechanisms underlying visual processing and, more recently, gut-to-brain communication.
