Principal Investigator: David Kleinfeld
UCSD Neuroscience
Title: “Revealing the connectivity and functionality of brain stem circuits”
BRAIN Category: Understanding Neural Circuits (RFA NS-14-009)

Dr. Kleinfeld and his colleagues will use a variety of tools and techniques to create detailed maps of circuits in the brainstem, the region that regulates many life-sustaining functions such as breathing and swallowing, and match the circuits to actions they control.
