Attila Losonczy (born 1974) is a Hungarian neuroscientist, Professor of Neuroscience at Columbia University Medical Center.[1] Losonczy's main area of research is on the relationship between neural networks and behavior, specifically with regard to learning in the hippocampus.
His group conducts research on spatial navigation and episodic learning in animal models as well as the pathology of cognitive memory deficits in neurodegenerative disorders and psychiatric disorders such as PTSD and anxiety.[2][3] Losonczy is currently working on developing in vivo imaging methods using two-photon microscopy and calcium imaging to simultaneously image hundreds of hippocampal place cells in conscious mice performing spatial tasks.[4][5]
