Research background
The aim of my research is to understand the cerebellum’s role in learning and cognition and through a trans-disciplinary approach, combining learning theory, behavioral neuroscience, in-vivo neurophysiology and neuropsychological testing in clinical and non-clinical populations.
I started conducting research as a psychology undergraduate – assisting Jean Christophe Rohner with research on memory biases associated with the beautiful is good stereotype – resulting in three publications. Later, I spent one year at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), where I helped Barry Giesbrecht with his research on the attentional blink and Osnat Ben-Shahar with her research on cocaine addiction. Back in Lund, I completed my bachelor's degree under the supervision of Mikael Johansson, studying electrophysiological correlates of the attractiveness stereotype and Swedish category norms.
During my Ph.D., supervised by Professor Germund Hesslow, I studied feedback mechanisms that regulate learning during eyeblink conditioning and how cerebellar neurophysiology can make sense of central learning theories such as the Rescorla-Wagner model. My postdoc, financed by the Swedish Research Council and EMBO, was inspired by the observation that blocking the mGluR7 receptor abolished learned cellular responses in Purkinje cells, which is believed to drive the behavior. Using global and Purkinje cell-specific knockouts, combined with pharmacological, histological, and neurophysiological methods, we examined the role that the mGluR7 receptor plays in several forms of motor learning. In a side project, we showed that caffeine, despite acting on receptors in the cerebellum, has no effect on eyeblink conditioning.
After my postdoc, I led research projects to study human skill acquisition. We compared the learning and timing of voluntary and classically conditioned blink responses in humans, and we also studied the influence of age and sex on eyeblink conditioning. We are currently examining whether motor skills can be used to predict neuropsychiatric conditions such as ADHD and ASD. In parallel, we are using neuropixels probes in animal models to understand the fundamental neurophysiological mechanisms that enable skill acquisition.
