Cell-type and circuit based mechanisms underlying sex-specific behavior strategies

June 19, 2026

A large body of work has aimed to define the precise information encoded by dopaminergic projections innervating the ventral striatum. We first show that dopamine does not transmit…

Tools for Analyzing and Repairing the Brain

June 19, 2026

Understanding and repairing complex biological systems, such as the brain, requires technologies for systematically observing and controlling these systems. We are discovering new molecular principles that enable such…

NeuroMEETS – A cellular and circuit mechanism for decoding and adapting to changes in daylength

June 19, 2026

The neural capacity to decode changes in daylength and accordingly adjust behavior is vital to survival and well-being, yet underlying mechanisms remain elusive. I will present a previously…
