Research interests: The goal of the Taxidis lab, at SickKids and the Department of Physiology, is to understand how neuronal circuits collectively encode our experiences and the temporal intervals between them, how they store those as memory and how these processes go awry in conditions associated with memory deficits. To address these questions, Dr. Taxidis combines his dual expertise on (i) in vivo imaging methods and (ii) computational and mathematical analyses. This holistic Systems Neuroscience approach gives the Taxidis lab a unique opportunity to investigate how hippocampal networks coordinate learning a context and its temporal structure, and how these networks are disrupted in brain disorders, particularly schizophrenia.
