Our lab seeks to understand the secret life of the fetal and infant brain. In particular, we are studying the development of activity in the cerebral cortex and its connected subcortical structures.
Our goal is to identify the early circuit changes that cause the maturation of brain activity. Using an animal model and EEG data from human infants born pre-term, we study how network changes are related to changes in infant behavior, and how they support brain and cognitive maturation.
