The US Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies is an ambitious science project to develop the tools that will enable monitoring and modulation of brain circuits. Launched in 2013 the Initiative has led to advances in technologies that are revolutionizing our understanding of how the brain processes information. Still it is expected that the greatest achievements are yet to...

Recent studies suggest that tau protein can adopt multiple conformations, which may have different consequences for neurodegeneration. This idea leads to the possibility that there are “prion-like” properties of tau, and that different clinical phenotypes may be a result, in part, of tau’s properties.

Our research focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular basis of how neural circuits are established and maintained in the cerebral cortex, the outside part of the mammalian brain that processes our senses, commands motor activity, and helps us perform higher-order cognitive functions like language. We also study how these complex processes were...

Assistant Professor of Neuroscience Department of Neuroscience, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
Goal-directed action is a fundamental organizing principle of behavior and is frequently perturbed across neuropsychiatric disorders. Our lab explores the cellular and circuit-level mechanisms that align motor output with outcome, including the formation of action-outcome associations, the weighing of benefits and costs and the regulation of behavioral...
