Major Research Interest
Question: How do locomotor neuronal circuits shape animal behavior?
Sub topics:
- Map the Locomotion Circuits
- Molecular Mechanisms
- Electrophysiology
- Animail behaviors
What We Aim For:
In the end, we aim to apply the lessons from these studies to developing ways to help people affected by motor function defects such as spinal cord injuries and ALS.
For achieving these scientific goals, we are applying Cutting edge molecular, genetic, developmental, and neurogenetic tools to Diverse model organisms including mouse, chicken, and skate.
