Exploring the neural circuits that underlie learning and behavior

Research

The Mills lab uses electrophysiology, calcium imaging and optogenetics to record and manipulate neural circuits in vivo. We combine these techniques with computational analysis of behavior to uncover circuit-level mechanisms underlying motivated behaviors.

News

Come by LBP088 to see the first @themillslab data poster “Valence and Behavior Encoding in the Dorsal Striatum During Fear Learning”!!

The Mills lab is delighted to welcome NGP rotation student (And former @kaymtye lab member :D) @tbtuazon to the lab!!

L.A. officially connected to the lab 😎🌴
(Los Angeles not the lateral amygdala)

Welcome @ardiliberto to the Mills Lab!! 🎉 She’ll be joining us as our new technician, helping with mouse behavioral and imaging experiments. Excited to have her on the team!

Philosophy

Our lab’s mission is to advance neuroscience research, and build a community where everyone is supported to achieve their potential.
