Research Description:
In our lab we focus on understanding brainstem circuits and their critical role in locomotor control. Our team employs cutting-edge techniques to dissect brainstem motor circuits in sophisticated anatomical, molecular, and functional detail. Our work aims to enhance our comprehension of the neural circuitry controlling movement, and offer insights into movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
