What we do. 

The world is full of sensory stimuli – we hear the morning alarm, see the sunlight coming through the window, and taste the coffee that wakes us. But it is only through movement that we are able to interact with the world. Work in the Bikoff lab aims to understand the functional organization of neural circuits that enable movement. We use a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates viral tools, imaging, single-cell genomics, and mouse behavioral analysis to study how circuits in the spinal cord and brain control motor behavior.
