Investigating the role of astrocytes in the function of neuronal systems
At the Astro-Neuronal Systems Lab, we study how astrocytes and neurons interact to shape brain computation and behavior. Combining in vivo imaging, circuit manipulation, and computational analysis, we investigate how astrocytes influence neural representations, information flow, and brain states. Our goal is to uncover the principles by which astro-neuronal interactions contribute to flexible and adaptive brain function.

Astrocytic role in representational encoding
Astrocytic role in representational encoding
In this project, we combine large-scale in vivo imaging and representational analyses to study the role of astrocytes in the formation of neural codes across brain states.
Distributed encoding of affective states
Distributed encoding of affective states
In this project, we combine large-scale in vivo imaging with behavioral paradigms that engage distinct actions and internal states to investigate how complex behaviors arise from distributed patterns of neuronal population activity across interconnected brain regions.
Astrocytic functional role in complex behaviors
Astrocytic functional role in complex behaviors
In this project, we use astrocyte-specific interventions combined with large-scale recordings of neuronal activity to examine the functional role of astrocytes on neuronal representations and the adaptive selection of behavioral responses.
