We are interested in how animals navigate through complex multi-sensory environments, and how brains are organized to effectively combine competing cues that drive behavior.
We use olfactory navigation as a model to understand the neural circuit basis of behavior, and the way the brain integrates internal and external cues to achieve its goals.
We apply a wide variety of tools to study neural function and behavior including whole-cell electro-physiology, 2-photon imaging, quantitative behavioral measurements, and genetic manipulations. We strive to generate simple computational models that relate neural activity to the dynamics of behavior.
