Expertise

Work in my lab explores a neurochemical signal, serotonin, which is one of the mechanisms allowing the auditory system to filter important information. We are interested in the function of serotonin-auditory interactions, how these are influenced by behavioral context, and how they change the way the auditory system interprets behaviorally relevant information.
