This paper introduces a low-cost eye-tracking system for small animals and uses it to study complex visual acquisition strategies in lizards.

PreyTouch is an automated touch-screen system for prey capture experiments that enables long-term studies of predator behavior, revealing prey preferences and learning dynamics in lizards.

This paper identifies AAV serotypes effective for transducing amphibian CNS cells and develops tools for neural circuit tracing and manipulation in multiple amphibian species.

This study investigates whether cortical activity represents travelling waves or sequentially activated discrete modules, finding that wave-like dynamics can arise from modular activation patterns.

This study identifies that late BLA activation during novel taste experience is essential for CTA, early c-Fos expression in GC, and palatability coding changes, but not for taste identity or perception.
