Your brain constantly juggles sensory information to make split-second decisions, but how? A new latent circuit model ...

This partnership facilitates efficient and high-quality analysis of neural circuit structures and functions, electrophysiological marker discovery, and drug screening. Electrophysiology recordings ...

A key question in both clinical and basic neuroscience research is how to create synaptic connections to restore function to a damaged or malfunctioning neural circuit. To date, pharmacological ...

Our current research focuses on two sets of experiments related to neural encoding of voice pitch and speech spectra at the level of the auditory brainstem (using the frequency following response) and ...

Functional assembly of neural circuits requires that individual circuit components ... We employ viral tracing methods, electrophysiology and plethysmography to assess how phrenic MN inputs change in ...

Neural reflex circuits regulate cytokine release to prevent potentially damaging inflammation and maintain homeostasis. In the inflammatory reflex, sensory input elicited by infection or injury ...

The Yong Xu lab is interested in novel neural circuits, neurotransmitters and intra-neuronal signals that are critical for coordinated control of metabolism and behavior. We generate unique mouse ...

Sleep quality is influenced by clock-driven temporal coding within arousal circuits (Tabuchi ... and extracellular electrophysiology, in vivo functional imaging, optogenetics, and sophisticated ...
