Elucidating the Developmental Underpinnings for
Social Behaviors
Our research
-
Our group's goal is to understand the neuronal underpinnings by which social information is being processed and innate social behaviors established during infancy and adolescence.
-
We are also interested in determining how the cellular and circuit mechanisms for social behaviors are disrupted during environmental stressors and in neurodevelopmental disorders.
Team-Driven
Science
We foster an environment
based on mutual respect where diverse ideas are shared
State-of-the-art
Tools
We use chemogenetics and optogenetics for cellular and circuit manipulations, record in vivo neuronal activity in bulk and in single-cells via fiber photometry, amongst others
Data Dissemination
We encourage presenting projects within our Institute, at local, national, and international conferences and at other academic Institutions
