RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
Motor control is the foundation for behavioral expression. Essential not only for basic survival, motor circuits enable virtually all interactions between brain and environment. My lab’s research aims to deepen our understanding of the neural circuits that control movement. Building on our previous research revealing distinct descending pathways for locomotor speed and direction, my nascent laboratory leverages modern circuit-cracking tools toward complete elaboration of the mammalian locomotor plan. I’m currently recruiting graduate students with background in cellular and molecular biology to contribute to projects in this research thrust.
