Research Theme:
Cellular & Molecular Engineering,
Research Interests:
Structure-function of brain circuits in relation to stroke, CNS synaptic plasticity/physiology mesoscale level, automated mouse brain imaging and brain stimulation
Biography:
By understanding the stroke recovery process on a circuit level, the lab hopes to advance patient translatable brain stimulation or other plasticity-inducing treatments. More recently the laboratory has extended these approaches to mouse models of psychiatric disorders such as depression and autism. To facilitate circuit interrogation in vivo the lab develops high-throughput models which automate animal imaging.
