Yang Dan is a Professor of Neurobiology. Her research lab aims to elucidate (1) what circuits in the mammalian brain control sleep, and (2) mechanisms by which the frontal cortex exerts top-down executive control. They use a variety of techniques, including optogenetics, electrophysiology, imaging, and virus-mediated circuit tracing. Current ...
