Alfredo Fontanini
Graduate Program:
Neurobiology and Behavior
Research Interest:
In general, I am interested in using two photon imaging and other cutting-edge techniques to understand mechanistic links between neural circuitry and behavior with the goal of learning how dysfunctions at the level of neural circuits can lead to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression.
