Post-Doc associated with: Joseph R. Fetcho Keywords: Biomechanics (2), Evolution (5), Fish (12), Lateral line system (2), Neuroethology (24), Sensorimotor Systems (11) I am broadly interested in the sensory biology, evolution, and behavior of fishes. In the Fetcho lab I am trying to understand how sensory inputs are translated into motor outputs at the cellular level using optical, genetic, and electrophysiological techniques in zebrafish. |
