Please welcome Assistant Professor of Biology, Dr. James Strother, and his lab to Whitney Laboratory! The Strother Lab is interested in questions at the interface between neurobiology and physiology using fishes as model organisms. His lab focuses on understanding processes at multiple levels of organization, from the properties of individual cells to the responses of the whole animal. To advance this research they employ a wide range of approaches, such as whole-brain imaging, optogenetics, and behavioral experiments. Current projects in the lab examine a diversity of subjects, including neurobiological control of physiological processes and sensory physiology.
