Our Research

A few of the specific ongoing questions our research seeks to answer include:

​

• Which circuits co-control both learned and innate fear?

​

• What network, circuits, and genes control the strength of learned 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

Our lab uses a variety of research techniques to answer the questions above, find out more about many of these techniques below.

Protocols

 Replication and reproducibility are key pillars of true scientific discovery. With this in mind, we have shared protocols used by our lab. Please contact us for any help or clarification. A desktop browser is needed to access files.
