Cell Biology of Midbrain Dopaminergic (DA) Neurons

How do trophic factors regulate the development and maintenance of DA neurons?

Structural Basis of Amblyopia and Strabismus

Genetics, Immunology, and Therapeutics of Demyelinating Diseases

Genetic, Cellular, Circuit, and Functional Organization of Auditory Cortex

Stem Cells, Neural Circuitry and Behavior

We are interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate neural stem cell function during the generation and maintenance of the brain.  For example, what genes and pathways that control stem cell quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation?  How do stem cells respond to brain injury?

Neural Mechanisms of Attention and Memory

Neuroprosthetics, motor rehabilitation, and plasticity

Molecular Study of Human Sleep Behaviors

Learning and Spatial Coding in the Hippocampal-Cortical Circuit

Molecular Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity and Neurodegeneration
