We study the neural circuits of vision and develop approaches to investigate the brain in health and disease

Our main goal is to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying visual processing and visually-guided behavior in mammals. Our research is centered on the visual cortex, its circuitry and its contribution to sensory perception and behavior.

We tackle these questions using cellular imaging and probe recordings in mice, in combination with genetic based circuit dissection. We also collaborate with others to study brain plasticity, development, and neurodegeneration, and use the latest CMOS technologies to characterize neural activity.
