The lab investigates the neural basis of innate behaviors using larval zebrafish. I will integrate whole-brain volumetric calcium imaging, behavioral assays, spatial transcriptomics, and neuroanatomical methods to link brain activity, circuit architecture, and molecular identity. I am also interested in comparative and evolutionary neuroscience for future projects.
The lab will study the circuits and neuronal populations that mediate innate behaviors. (Created with BioRender.com)
We will use calcium imaging to record neuronal activity across the brains of zebrafish larvae. (Created with BioRender.com)
We will map neural responses to identify the brain regions and neuronal populations driving innate behaviors.
We will use targeted profiling methods to identify the molecular signatures of the neuronal populations of interest.
