Stephen A. Baccus
Professor of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how the neural circuitry of the vertebrate retina encodes visual information and performs computations. To control and measure the retinal circuit, we present visual images while performing simultaneous two-photon imaging and multielectrode recording. We perturb the circuit as it operates using simultaneous intracellular current injection and multielectrode recording, and use the resulting large data sets to construct models of retinal computation.

Thomas Clandinin
Shooter Family Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Clandinin lab focuses on understanding how neuronal circuits assemble and function to perform specific computations and guide behavior. Taking advantage of a rich armamentarium of genetic tools available in the fruit fly, combined with imaging, physiology and analytical techniques drawn from systems neuroscience, we examine a variety of visual circuits.

Can Dong
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurobiology
BioMy research focuses on the cognitive mechanisms underpinning learning and memory and asks the following questions: 1) What are the neural bases for flexible coding of the brain and how do experiences shape these processes? 2) How do cross-brain-region activities influence memory encoding and recall? 3) Develop new techniques/methods to reintroduce the normal activity in the malfunctioned brains.
Durin my postdoc, I will work on spatial and social memory integration in the hippocampus to understand the mechanism of flexible coding in healthy and diseased brains.
