PROFESSIONAL FACULTY RESEARCH

(Neurobiology and physiology) Central auditory neurophysiology and neuroanatomy at the systems and cellular levels.

BIO

Our lab is interested in how hearing circuits function in normal and pathological conditions. We are interested in the representation of sound at various levels - behavioral responses to sound, auditory evoked potentials from the entire auditory system, in vivo discharge patterns to sound from a single neuron or ensembles, intrinsic and synaptic currents produced by neurons, and the changes in protein expression and molecular organization that underlie functional changes.
