Exploring how the brain drives eating, reward, and motivation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our lab is passionate about uncovering the neural mechanisms behind food and drug intake. With a deep commitment to reducing suffering and improving well-being, We bring both scientific curiosity and leadership to our research and department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to learn more about our work and the people behind it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Initial information about our lab’s potential and focus:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to advance our research in neuroscience and molecular biology mice<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Optogenetic, Chemogenetic, and Imaging Tools to Explore Brain Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We use a variety of tools to manipulate and visualize proteins, cells, and transcripts under various conditions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n

\"Mouse<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Food, drugs, and behavior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We take our work from the synaptic to whole animal levels to better understand how synaptic and behavioral changes affect each other.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n

\r\n\t\n\n
\"Electrophysiology<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whole-cell electrophysiology (patch clamp)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We use this approach to assess how synaptic communication changes in hedonic and homeostatic circuits with feeding state and opioid exposure. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
