We are interested in information processing and experience-dependent plasticity in the mammalian cortex.
What happens at the level of neural networks and their components, neurons and synapses, when we learn?
To address these questions we study the rodent sensory cortex. We use optical, physiological,
and molecular tools to probe the dynamics of cortical circuits from single synapses to neuronal populations.
Although our experiments focus on the intact brain, we also use reduced preparations, such as brain slices.
This website contains links to our publications and information about the people involved in the research. We also publish tools/protocols and software developed in our lab. You can find more about our research here and on our HHMI webpage.
Over the last five years we have received support from the following sources:
