Rice Brain Institute Seminar: Matthew McGinley, PhD

Event Description

Dr. Matthew McGinley, Associate Professor of Neuroscience, Baylor College of Medicine Seminar Title TBA How does the brain process auditory information to drive behavior? The McGinley lab approaches this question by studying neural mechanisms of auditory perceptual decision making behaviors, in mice. We primarily use whole-cell recording and two-photon imaging in head-fixed mice while they perform auditory perceptual decision-making tasks. The lab also utilizes computational and engineering approaches, optogenetics, multi-channel extracellular recording, pupillometry, and histological methods. We are currently focused on three related projects regarding the cellular, synaptic, and neuromodulatory mechanisms of auditory perceptual decision making.
