The synaptic basis for sexual dimorphism in the nervous system

We study the mechanisms and neural coding dynamics underlying long-term memory

Mechanisms of oligodendrocyte and white matter aging and rejuvenation.

Networks, behavior and plasticity in the human brain

Neurobiology of sexual dimorphism in social and reproductive behavior

Neural mechanisms of spatial cognition and social cognition in the bat hippocampus

Deciphering the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of neuronal wiring

Brain-body interactions

Our lab studies how the brain learns, controls, and perceives the syntax of flexible behavior.

Prefrontal cortical circuits, social behavior, learning, decision making, optogenetic tool development

We study morphogenesis, cell biology and function of hypothalamic neurons, which regulate appetite, stress and social behavior

How the brain processes smell, and how smell influences behavior

Mechanisms of axon growth, destruction and refinement during developmental neuronal remodeling

Design principles and function of learning networks

We study interactions between peripheral circadian clocks and exercise physiology, hypoxia signaling and metabolic pathways

Genomic & state-dependent regulation of neural circuit plasticity
