The Kvitsiani group investigates the genetic and neuronal circuit mechanisms that underlie decision-making in flies, rodents and humans. The methods used include molecular genetics, psychophysics, behavioral electrophysiology and optogenetics.(https://dandrite.au.dk/people/group-leaders/kvitsiani-group/)

The group's focus is to investigate the pre- and postnatal brain development, more specifically the specialization, maturation and positioning of inhibitory neurons and how these mechanisms are impaired in neurodevelopmental diseases.(https://www.bric.ku.dk/Research/khodosevich-group/)Tasks and projects: - Genotyping of mice, keeping track of breedings- Cell culture maintenance- AAV and lentivirus production- Generic modification of neural stem cells- Effects of neurotrophic cytokine knock-outs on inhibitory neurons in mice
