Principal Investigator: Kit S. Lam
UC Davis Center for Neuroscience
Title: “Genetically encoded reporters of integrated neural activity for functional mapping of neural circuitry”
BRAIN Category: Large-Scale Recording-Modulation – New Technologies (RFA NS-14-007)

Dr. Lam’s team plans to develop fluorescent sensors that will mark ion channels, molecules that help control information flow in the brain, and enable scientists to observe the neurons that are activated during a specific behavior, such as running.
