bridging the gaps between molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience…

The goal of our laboratory is to understand the development, organization, and function of the mammalian neocortex.  We are particularly focused on examining how single neurons and local circuits participate in the perception and storage of sensory information.

By combining an array of electrophysiological and optical methods in brain slices and in vivo, we hope to generate new insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying behavior and the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders.
