Overview


That a picture can be worth a thousand words relies on the power of the visual system. In order to divide the labor of this task, the visual cortex is organized into specialized modules that process distinct features. My lab uses the mouse visual system and modern genetic, optical, electrophysiological and behavioral approaches to reveal how these modules are coordinated to support vision and guide behavior.

Motion integration: A case of misdirection.

Journal Article Curr Biol · February 24, 2025 Integrating complex motion signals from the environment is essential for behavior. A recent study in the mouse has revealed that both encoding in the superior colliculus and the optokinetic reflex follow a novel motion integration rule. ... Full text Link to item Cite

DART.2: bidirectional synaptic pharmacology with thousandfold cellular specificity.

Journal Article Nat Methods · July 2024 Precision pharmacology aims to manipulate specific cellular interactions within complex tissues. In this pursuit, we introduce DART.2 (drug acutely restricted by tethering), a second-generation cell-specific pharmacology technology. The core advance is opt ... Full text Link to item Cite

Input-specific synaptic depression shapes temporal integration in mouse visual cortex.

Journal Article Neuron · October 18, 2023 Efficient sensory processing requires the nervous system to adjust to ongoing features of the environment. In primary visual cortex (V1), neuronal activity strongly depends on recent stimulus history. Existing models can explain effects of prolonged stimul ... Full text Link to item Cite
