We use approaches in molecular genetics, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and systems neurobiology to understand mammalian somatosensory neurons and central nervous system circuits that underlie our sense of touch.
We also seek to define mechanisms of somatosensory system development and dysfunction of somatosensory circuitry in disease states.
