BIO
The Burgess lab investigates how learning, as well as changes in motivational and arousal state, impacts how we process the sensory environment. Using neuroanatomical tracing, behavior, optogenetics, and in vivo two-photon calcium imaging in mice, we aim to map the circuits that underlie fundamental behaviors, like sleep and feeding, and elucidate how these circuits impact learning and sensory processing in higher-order brain regions.
