Autism spectrum disorders, Organoid, Multi-electrode array, In vivo Ca2+ imaging, E/I balance, Neural circuits

Interests

The research in our Adaptive Decisions Lab entails a combination of parametric behavioural tasks, novel neurotechnology (viral methods, optogenetics, CRISPR-Cas9), and imaging methods to reveal the dynamics of micro-and mesoscopic circuits during flexible behaviour. This effort promises substantial new insight into how dysfunction in mechanisms at either spatial scale leads to pathophysiology in autism spectrum disorders.
