Dr. Kurt Golcuk is a multidisciplinary researcher with neuroscience, biomedical optics, and microspectroscopy expertise. His current academic and research interests focus on understanding the neural mechanisms of learning, memory, and decision-making, with an emphasis on neuromodulatory systems such as the cholinergic system. His current work investigates how cholinergic signaling influences behavior and cortical activity, particularly in the context of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Golcuk integrates advanced imaging techniques, optogenetics, and behavioral analysis to explore brain-wide neural dynamics.
