Our lab uses a variety of techniques to study the function and the structure of neural circuits. In our mouse studies, we study the roles of neuron subtypes that make up these circuits using genetically engineered mouse lines and viral vectors. We then modulate these specific neuron subtypes using...

The VanderHorst lab studies how distinct brainstem neuronal systems dynamically modulate different fundamental functions ranging from walking gait, muscle tone, respiration, to arousal how age-related and neurodegenerative changes in these circuits that occur in the setting of Parkinson’s Disease...
