Primary Interests:

The Kamran Khodakhah Lab aims understand the role of the cerebellum in motor coordination, cognitive and social function, and addiction. Of particular interest is the general computational principles of the cerebellum, its interactions with other brain structures, and its role in motor and non-motor behaviors. Researchers approach these questions from basic science and clinical perspectives using a combination of techniques—from behavioral studies to optogenetics and electrophysiology (both in vitro and in vivo). The studies take advantage of normal and transgenic animal models.
