I’m interested in structure-function relationships in neural circuits and behavior, with a focus on motor and somatosensory areas of the mouse’s cortex involved in controlling forelimb movements. In one line of investigation, we take a bottom-up, cellularly oriented approach and use optogenetics, electrophysiology, and related slice-based methods to dissect cell-type-specific circuits of corticospinal and other neurons in forelimb motor cortex. In another, we take a top-down ethologically oriented approach and analyze the kinematics and cortical correlates of “oromanual” dexterity as mice handle food. I'll discuss recent progress on both fronts.
