Lab:
I study how the brain to recovers from irreversible loss of sensory input. To this end I use large scale calcium two-photon imaging to sample large populations of neurons in visual cortex of behaving mice during plasticity. I use optogenetics and circuit tracing techniques to identify sets of inputs responsible for the reactivation of visual cortex.
