Studying cellular correlates of tactile perception of rodents

Neural mechanisms of spatial cognition and social cognition in the bat hippocampus

Brain-body interactions

Prefrontal cortical circuits, social behavior, learning, decision making, optogenetic tool development

Functional imaging and electrophysiology recordings to uncover light responses of neurons along the visual pathway and their underlying circuits

How the brain processes smell, and how smell influences behavior

Our lab studies how the brain learns, controls, and perceives the syntax of flexible behavior.

Genomic & state-dependent regulation of neural circuit plasticity

We are interested in deciphering questions spanning from molecular to behavioral levels

We study the mechanisms and neural coding dynamics underlying long-term memory
