Our lab is at the Janelia Research Campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. We study the function of the mammalian brain using a wide range of techniques. We are always looking to work with talented people with skills in electrophysiology, engineering, behavior, optics, and computation.
lab members janelia.orgVoluntary, purposive behavior requires that we extract information about the world, formulate plans for action, and then execute the movements required to bring about desired outcomes. Our lab studies a critical nexus in the mammalian brain where sensory information and motor planning come together to subserve volition - the basal ganglia. The work in our lab aims to elucidate the neurobiology of purposive behavior, as well as its pathological disruption in Parkinson's disease and addiction.
