I am interested in understanding the signal transmission properties and compensation/ adaptation observed in the vestibular system. I have studied vestibular system at the systems level in humans (vestibular compensation maneuvers) and non-human primates (in vivo extracellular single unit recording from vestibular afferent fibers and vestibular nuclei neurons) as well as at the cellular level in rats and mice (patch clamp recording from hair cells and afferent terminals). Currently, we use mouse as the mammalian model and use in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology recordings, imaging methods, immunohistochemisty, and pharmacology/ optogenetic stimulation in our research.
