Research Summary
Model Systems
Research Methods
We aim to understand how light influences physiology and behaviour in mammals, via the circadian system or other visual centres. To this end, we use multielectrode recordings to monitor circadian/sensory evoked neural activity, intersectional genetics approaches for identification and manipulation of defined neuronal populations (e.g. via opto- and chemogenetics) and whole animal behavioural and physiological monitoring, alongside studies of how light impacts human behaviour and physiology.
