About me
- Christopher Harris
I'm a neuroscience PhD student working at the University of Sussex. My research objective is to understand how adaptive patterns of neural and behavioural activity are generated, selected and maintained. I'm particularly interested in how dopamine modulates goal-oriented activity in complex neural circuits. During my doctoral studies at the University of Sussex I have developed a new multi-electrode technique for interfacing with an intact invertebrate brain (Harris et al., 2010, J. Neurosci. Methods). I'm currently using the new technique to study dopamine-mediated adaptation of the brain’s feeding circuit to the availability of food (Harris et al., accepted for review in Current Biology). I expect to submit my PhD thesis in April 2012 and am now looking for a postdoctoral research position involving multi-electrode or optogenetic methods for interfacing with neural networks and/or research on reward and motivation.
