Instructor: BIONB 431: Genes and behavior

Our lab studies how movements are produced by the brain and spinal cord of vertebrates. We use zebrafish as a model system because they allow us to combine genetic and optical methods with more conventional physiological approaches to study the neural circuits. In addition to studies of normal function, we examine disruptions of function by genetic mutations, and are developing approaches to cure spinal injuries.
