There are open, NIH-funded positions for interested graduate students and postdocs.
On-going projects are primarily centered around the modulation of auditory nerve synapses by acoustic conditions, and include:
-
How acoustic conditions drive cellular changes (imaging, slice electrophysiology)
-
How synaptic changes affect responses of auditory neurons to sounds (in vivo electrophysiology)
-
How synapses change structure (serial blockface electron microscopy)
-
How encoding of sounds changes (optogenetics)
