Research Abstract

Our laboratory studies small circuits underlying cognition in the non-human primate model. Currently, we have projects involving spatial representation, memory and movement; eye-hand and bimanual coordination; and correlation-based functional connectivity. In the past we have worked on topics including effector-selective circuits underlying movement, cognitive switch costs, and neuronal correlates of rewards... read more
