Michael Wallace
The Wallace lab studies how specific circuits within the basal ganglia (BG) guide motivated behaviors, control goal-directed motor actions, and how these circuits are affected in disease. The lab has expertise in electrophysiology, molecular biology, genetics, in vivo optogenetics, computer programming, and in behavioral and imaging techniques. We apply these techniques and knowledge of BG […]
John White
Prof. White’s laboratory uses engineering approaches to understand how information is processed in the brain, with the goal of exploiting these findings to improve the human condition. Ongoing and future research questions include the following: Why is coherent electrical activity of the cortex necessary for mental processes like learning and memory? What factors control this […]
