The goal of our lab is to uncover the neuronal circuitry of sleep-wake states and sleep-preparatory behaviors, and to delineate the mechanisms involved in pathological alterations in these circuits. To accomplish these, we combine innovative techniques to record and manipulate neuronal circuits in rodents, including in-vivo calcium imaging using a head-mounted miniature microscope, fiber-photometry, optogenetics, chemogenetics, and circuit tracing with ethologically-relevant behavioral manipulations.
