Research Interests
My major research interest is elucidating the neural circuitry that controls sleep and wakefulness, particularly the ascending arousal system. We use neuroanatomical and physiological recording methods to study the specific components of these systems. I am also interested in circadian rhythms and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia.
