Neuroscience

Graduate Student Fellowships 2010/2011
Professor Karl Deisseroth (Bioengineering, Psychiatry)
Joanna's research involves optogenetics, a method in which light-activated proteins are used to manipulate specified neuronal circuits within an intact mammalian brain. To expand the utility of this technique, she is working to develop different strategies for targeting these proteins to neuronal populations based on their projection patterns. In addition, she is using optogenetics to study the circuitry that underlies oscillatory network activity within the hippocampus. |
