Targeted brain manipulation to ameliorate cognitive function
A long-standing goal of neuroscience research is to provide practical solutions for altering cognitive behavior through manipulations of neural circuits as a way to ameliorate cognitive dysfunction. The development of targeted manipulation of neural circuits is currently hampered by our insufficient understanding of how cognitive functions arise from the interactions of large neural ensembles. We develop targeted manipulation of prefrontal circuits to alter cognitive behavior – a key step toward advanced brain-machine interfaces and novel therapeutic interventions in the human brain.
