Research Summary

Individuals generate complex patterns of unique behaviors across life that distinguish them from each other, a property called individuality.

We are a multidisciplinary neuroscience lab studying the neuronal and molecular basis of changes in behavior across development and the underlying processes that generate behavioral variation among individuals
