The Thermoregulation Lab
Our research combines functional calcium imaging with behavioral recording and computational modeling to understand how animals seek out a preferred temperature.
Research topics
-
Sensori-motor transformations
How do neural circuits transform thermosensory information into thermoregulatory behaviors?
-
Preference formation
How does a thermal preference arise from concerted neural activity?
-
Modulation
How do inflammatory states alter thermoregulation and neural processing?
