Research Projects
Integrative neural circuits are collections of neurons that receive, process, and incorporate information from various sources to produce a response. The goal is to discover the function of these circuits in different types of behaviors (1).
Orthopedics focuses on the treatment and prevention of diseases that impact the musculoskeletal system (2). This section focuses on osteoarthritis.
Neuromechanics is the study of how the relationship between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems generates movement (3).
