We study mechanosensory signaling by the inner ear. We focus on the mouse utricle, where we have access to mechanosensitive receptor cells and primary afferent neurons...
Computational Cognitive and Visual Neuroscience
Through experience, we learn to interpret the sights and sounds around us and to make decisions that move us closer to...
My research is focused on ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors, the receptors responsible for the rapid postsynaptic response in nerve and muscle. These receptors are...
My research integrates biomechanics and neurobiology to study how axial movements are generated and coordinated to respond to the physical properties of an organism...
Neural networks are able to store information and to learn by adapting the efficacy of synaptic communication between neurons in an activity-dependent way. ‘Synaptic...
