Biography
The Golshani Lab is focused on understanding how changes in the connectivity and excitability of cortical circuits results in autism and intellectual disability.
We use cutting edge tools, such as in-vivo two-photon calcium imaging, high density silicon probe recordings, and miniaturized microscopes to determine how large groups of identified neurons change their ensemble firing patterns in models of disease during behavior.
By understanding the mechanisms underlying circuit dysfunction, we hope to find new-generation treatments for these conditions.
