Mexico City

My interests center around complex adaptive systems, especially in physiology. My current research seeks to better understand mechanisms underlying nonlinear phenomena spanning different levels of physiological organization, not necessarily different spatiotemporal scales. I combine experimental and theoretical approaches that include dynamical systems, graph theory, computational simulations. For instance, I am studying biophysical principles underlying the formation and reactivation of neural traces within microcircuits. At a macroscopic level, neuronal activity depends on the anatomical connectivity, synaptic plasticity, and the level of heterogeneity in the physiological function of the neurons under consideration. Both of these factors are adaptively changed by neuromodulation, regulation of gene expression, as well as internal and external stimuli. The goal is to understand general principles underlying the changes and the adaptability of functionally connected networks.
