Dr. Zachary Davis received his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of California,Davis, studying the development of the early visual system. He then joined the Systems Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies with Dr. John Reynolds as a Post-Doctoral Fellow, studying the role of intrinsic cortical activity in visual perception in marmoset monkeys. Dr. Davis is currently a Staff Scientist at the Salk, developing new techniques to image and record from cortical populations in behaving marmosets. He is interested in understanding how individual cell types contribute to activity patterns that emerge from the interaction of cortical networks within and across cortical areas during perceptual decision-making in primates.
