Our lab focuses on the role of the cerebellum in cognitive and affective processes. We combine neurophysiology, pharmacology and optogenetics in humans and animals performing behavioral tasks to dissect cerebellar neural circuitry. Additionally, there is the potential for cerebellar stimulation to rescue cognitive impairments and mood in humans with neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and Parkinson's disease but also in animals with pharmacologically- and genetically-induced phenotypes of disease.
