Our Research
A few questions our research seeks to answer include:
-
Which brain circuits co-control different types of fear?
-
What network, circuits, and genes control the strength of our fear memories?
-
Do brain-wide molecular networks exhibit a topological structure that represents learned fear differently than innate fear?
-
Are there key hub genes within these topologically-structured molecular networks that intrinsically differentiate between learned and innate fears?
Techniques
The first lab (v1) was good. The next lab (v2) will be great.

We use a variety of research techniques to answer the questions above, find out more about many of these techniques below.
