Pål Kvello
About
Pål Kvello was trained as a general teacher at Nord-Trøndelag University College, and he continued with a master's degree and a doctoral degree in biology at Dr. Hanna Mustaparta's laboratory, department of biology, NTNU. There he studied how the nervous system of insects detects and processes information about taste qualities. This work continued with a post-doctoral position in Dr. Kristin Scott's laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, where Pål studied how taste neurons in the central nervous system influence feeding behavior in fruit flies. Due to a lack of methods to identify functional connections between neurons in fruit flies, Pål started a post-doctoral period in Dr. Menno Witter's laboratory at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience to learn whole-cell multipatch electrophysiology. With this method, he investigated how neurons in different layers of the cerebral cortex in rats and mice are connected in neural networks. Using a transgenic rat model for Alzheimer's disease, he also investigated how this disease can affect the function of neurons and networks in the entorhinal part of the cerebral cortex. Currently, Pål Kvello has his own research group at the Department of Teacher Education https://www.ntnu.no/web/ilu/nevrodidaktikk where the aim is to develop methods and material to increase students' knowledge of the nervous system, as well as the application of this knowledge in other fields.
