Over the past few years we have focused on studying the circuits and computations of the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia in the context of reward seeking behaviors in mice. Previous work has spanned a range of questions from behavioral measures of disease progression in human patients to the structure glutamate receptors.
Our lab spans a wide range of approaches from electrophysiology during behavior to two-photon imaging. We are always on the lookout to work with talented, interested people with diverse skills and backgrounds either as members of the lab or as visiting scientists through the Janelia Visiting Scientists program.
We also keenly interested to help expose students to neuroscience research and help launch research careers through our participation in the Janelia Graduate Program or the Graduate Research Fellowship program. For undergraduates, our lab is a regular participant in the Janelia Undergraduate Scholars program.
