Gregoriou Georgia
Professor of Physiology
Medical School, University of Crete, P.C. 70013 Heraklion, Crete
Dr Gregoriou, holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, a M.Sc. in Basic Neurosciences and a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Crete. She did postdoctoral research at the Institute of Human Physiology, University of Parma, Italy and subsequently in the U.S.A, first at the National Institute of Mental Health of the National Institutes of Health (NIMH, NIH) and then at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
1997-2001: Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, University of Crete, Greece.
1994-1997: M.Sc. in Basic Neuroscience, Graduate Program in Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, University of Crete, Greece.
1989-1994: B.Sc. in Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Athens, Greece.
Research in Dr Gregoriou’s lab focuses on the neural mechanisms of perceptual and cognitive functions with a particular emphasis on visual attention and working memory. She is employing multi-channel electrophysiological recordings from multiple brain areas and advanced computational analysis methods to study the neural code of cognitive functions. Her goal is to elucidate how the representation of sensory and cognitive variables changes depending on behavioral goals and how flexible behavior is implemented in the brain despite the rigid anatomical connections. She is also particularly interested in the way the temporal structure of neuronal activity contributes to the formation of functional networks according to behavioral demands and the role of neural synchrony in long-range communication among selected neuronal populations.
