Neuronal circuits in the primate brain that mediate vision, cognition and movement.

Research Description:
My laboratory studies the neuronal circuits in the primate brain that mediate vision, cognition, and movement.  One of our major goals is to develop interventions at the circuit level (strategically placed lesions, stimulations, or pharmacological infusions) that may relieve symptoms of schizophrenia or other disconnection syndromes."
