Integrated Theory of Brain Function
James Fitzgerald integrates theoretical biophysics and neurobiology to develop testable theories that link biological complexity to specific brain functions across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Fitzgerald and his team are advancing the frontiers of neuroscience with an approach that combines modeling, data analysis, and experimental design. Fitzgerald’s research bridges the gap between fine-scale and large-scale studies of the brain to identify general principles that can influence broad thinking about neuroscience.
