Laboratory of Neurophysiology and Behavior
We are broadly interested in genes, circuits, and behaviors underlying sleep and arousal states and how they affect learning and decision making. We use an interdisciplinary approach in addressing the mechanisms of behavior in experimentally amenable animal models and strive to create a safe, collaborative, and growth-centered community of practice.
Fun Fact: Fruit fly sleep is a lot like ours, and most lab projects are inspired by our own lives and questions about our behavior.
