Welcome to the Wang Lab

The Wang laboratory does basic research in several areas: (1) information processing in the cerebellum, including its contributions to motor learning; (2) cerebellar roles in cognitive and affective function and autism spectrum disorder; (3) the improvement of tools for awake, in vivo optical imaging; and (4) synaptic learning rules throughout the brain.

We rely on advanced methods for the optical control and imaging of brain activity. Research interests are represented both by published papers and by more recent work.
