Abstract
The central focus of my lab is in understanding how cortical activity flow impacts normal brain function and diseases of the nervous system such as stroke. My laboratory contributes to understanding how a mouse cortex adapts after stroke, resulting in remapping of brain function from damaged to surviving areas using mouse models. The lab has developed new...

Abstract
"I will describe a decade of research on how functional imaging based on blood flow dynamics actually reports neuronal activation. Our approach is based on two-photon microscopy imaging of cellular activity, functional ultrasound imaging of blood volume (fUS) and BOLD fMRI in the rodent brain."

Abstract:
In the brain, increases in blood flow and oxygenation are correlated to increases in neural activity. While this correlation is extensively used in human brain imaging, the mechanisms underlying the linkage between neural activity and hemodynamics are poorly...

Abstract:
I will present data that show that rare neurological diseases can serve as model for much more common diseases such as AD, PD and MS. Importantly, these disease affect lipid metabolism and I will argue that different lipids are at the root of these neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract:
Attending to mistakes while practicing alone provides opportunities for learning, but self-evaluation during audience-directed performance could distract from ongoing execution. It remains unknown how animals switch between practice and performance modes, and how evaluation systems process errors across distinct performance contexts. We recorded from striatal-projecting dopamine (DA) neurons as male songbirds...
