Research

Our lab focuses on the physiological substrates of executive functioning within higher-order association areas of the brain. We use a range of tools, including optogenetics, chemogenetics, extra-cellular electrophysiology, 2-photon and light field imaging, calcium and voltage indicators, pharmacology, custom robotics, and advanced statistics to investigate how the coordinated activity of biological neural networks processes information.

If this sounds like the kind of research you're interested in, please reach out. We are currently looking to fill roles at all levels.

Brain-wide prefrontal inputs

Using a replication-deficient rabies tracing technique, a brain-wide distribution of cells (magenta) that synapse onto prefrontal cortico-striatal projection neurons can be visualized and quantified.
