Neuroscience postdoc at UCSF studying brain circuits controlling breathing, swallowing and vocalization in mice. He/Him.
San Francisco, CA
Joined September 2016
Our new preprint! We investigated how mice modulate exhalation to produce their wide repertoire of ullrasonic vocalizations and show a neuronal population sufficient to generate USVs
